Episode description as stored

Part Two. The Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial is forcing a harrowing national conversation about postpartum anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Lindsay Clancy is accused of the murders of her three children while in the throes of postpartum psychosis. The case has opened a national conversation on the limits of the mental health care system, criminal responsibility while mentally ill, and what sentence suits a person who had lost touch with reality at the time of the crime. We are bringing back a riveting conversation with Sara Townshend, the author of SETTING THE WIRE, a memoir of postpartum psychosis. She was a psychotherapist and new mother when she experienced the most disturbing experience of her lifetime—postpartum psychosis. Sara was able to get the help she needed to recover, but not before hospitalization.
