So angry about all the media coverage linking PPP to Clancy
The media is now covering the stories of women who have suffered from postpartum psychosis. They are linking all the stories to Clancy. This makes me SO SO angry! The women in the stories did not kill multiple children and never wanted to kill multiple children. The women in the stories also suffered from severe hallucinations and delusions such as thinking they had eaten their children or that their husband was their child grown-up, and these delusions and hallucinations went on for a long time. Clancy had NONE of that. She was not psychotic, except for the 18 minutes it took her to strangle three people. Apparently.
Women who have had PPP and Lindsay Clancy are not the same. The former were truly ill and never came even close to being a serious criminal. Clancy did not have PPP and is a mass killer. I WISH WISH WISH that everyone would fucking stop conflating PPP with fucking Clancy.
The WHO says the postpartum period is 12 weeks after birth. Anyone with any common sense knows that you don't suddenly develop postpartum issues when your baby is eight months old! And KR was wrong when he said women who have children are postpartum for the ret of their lives. Postpartum is a medical term used to convey the huge changes and the recovery that occurs in the few weeks after giving birth.
THIS is postpartum psychosis. Horrendous, longlasting symptoms and NO desire to murder anyone with exercise bands:
