Exactly. Also to add. This woman came in for insomnia and anxiety. A PCP could handle this. But no one can manage someone who gives a history and is lying about everything

Thank you. And if I hear one more thing about tapering a 50mg sertraline dose that was taken 3 times I'll lose it.

Idk …. They kinda missed the very obvious period of mania (bare minimum severe hypomania) soooo I’m thinking the psychiatrist was not very effective

I said from day one, if you are around anyone with psychosis, you will see signs, my son has schizophrenia, I know right away if he misses a dose of meds

The more I watch this trial, the stronger I feel that the jury should be mandated to have at least some medical professionals on cases involving insanity plea (especially in this case)

True nothing is obvious to spot as delusions and hallucinations if you looking for them

This is just a friendly suggestion as a therapist myself, I would end engagement of content centered on this trial. I think talking generally about these topics- great, but there is so much speculation, assuming, judging and just non great things going on centered on this specific case and I think as health care professionals we should really recenter the convo now.

It’s definitely definitely being pushed by the defense 😩😩 the amount of lay folks I’ve seen commenting that L’s psychiatrist was negligent and should be in jail bc she wasn’t an “expert” in postpartum psychosis and claimed she was like everyone has lost the plot????

I’m more concerned all these specialists did not recognise mania/hypomania symptoms which is clearly obvious?! She ran a marathon after giving birth, she didn’t sleep for 48 hours???

Yeah maybe but postpartum psychosis is a direct threat to children in that home. There should be a different standard of care for the mother immediately

Psychosis is absolutely not difficult to diagnose in the average patients. There may be some obscure situations than it is. You aren’t going to go from zero psychosis to killing your kids overnight.

I think the larger thing here is that there needs to be better screening tools for “highly educated” or well presenting patients. Specifically for those also in the medical field that speak the language.

sure. but, people can absolutely mask symptoms of psychosis. and certain aetiologies have psychotic illnesses have more subacute onsets than others.

Starman1958 :
Doctor, are you saying you don’t believe she was experiencing a psychotic break when she killed her children? That you agree with the prosecution that she carefully planned the murders? If so, then what was her motivation? She certainly seemed to be a doting mother who loved her children.

Sara :
Well, according to her defense, she never experienced any psychosis until the day she killed her kids so there was nothing for them to identify until after they were dead

I beg to differ. You need experience with post partum psychosis to give the treatment it requires. Its a acute illness. One of the most deadly psych illness. I think psychiatry is being a bit arrogant when you/they say all psychosis is the same. Its really not.

Idk, I was in the acute phase of postpartum psychosis for 2 months and my psychologist, physician, husband, dad, mother in law, friends all missed it. When I was lucid enough to recognize that maybe I was becoming psychotic, (I’m a psychologist) that thought would disappear moments later when the baby cried and I fell back into the belief that I was already dead and a ghost walking the earth. I’ve been working with psychosis my entire career. The other types of psychosis are easier to spot. For postpartum moms, the symptoms get dismissed as normal mom issues. It doesn’t require high specialization, but it does require a psychiatrist to do more than a 15 min video visit while never requesting records from the hospital and throwing piles of meds at the patient.

The fear mongering that has come from this case, that will ultimately delay people from seeking psychiatric care and treatment is actually terrifying!! Thank you for sharing facts!

I think the lawyers on both sides fail to understand psychiatric care. It’s like they read the DSM like it’s a law book. They get hung up on diagnosis and fail to understand that that diagnosis for psychiatric disorders is not black and white!

I agree… I find it hard to believe that all her psychiatrists, NPs, etc all missed her psychosis if she truly was psychotic
