“These cases involve very different circumstances, but both highlight the devastating consequences that severe postpartum mental illness can have, and both raise a question that deserves serious attention: What happens when postpartum effects become severe, when the people around a struggling mother fail to recognize the danger, and when treatment does not adequately address the crisis?”
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Two women have been frequently in the headlines over the past couple of weeks: Hayden Panettiere, the famous actress who died on August 16 from a possible drug overdose, and Lindsay Clancy, the mother who is currently on trial for confessing to the murder of her three young children.
These women, despite being in different walks of life, shared a similar struggle: postpartum depression (PPD), postpartum anxiety (PPA), and — allegedly in Clancy’s case — postpartum psychosis (PPP).
