Episode 40 | Lindsay Clancy of Duxbury, Mass & The Realities of Postpartum Psychosis




In episode 40 (the second part I promised from the unreleased episode), I share the very emotional, complex, and disturbing case of the Clancy family of Duxbury, Massachusetts. This one definitely got to me. I do talk about self harm, mental illness, domestic violent and suicide and list resources below. In January, 32-year-old nurse and mother, Lindsay Clancy, is believed to have killed her three young children - Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months - while being treated for a postpartum condition. It is a complicated case with many differing opinions. I share the facts of Lindsay Clancy’s case to date and details of two other high profile US cases of mothers who murdered their children, facts of their cases, what the science says, and where they are now. Postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis are not the same and should not be considered as such. New England crime headlines: The suspicious death of Barbara Hovey Novaes of Medford, Mass and the family member murder-suicide of Linda and Sebastian Robinson of Andover, Mass.
