The trial of Lindsay Clancy, an American woman accused of murdering her three young children, was declared a mistrial by a judge. Psychologist Melanie Tavares analyzes the case, which generated great public attention in the United States.
Lindsay Clancy repeatedly revealed that she had dangerous thoughts about her children and even about herself, according to the specialist's analysis. These reports were considered relevant to understanding the defendant's mental state.
Postpartum depression is relatively common among women after childbirth, according to Melanie Tavares. However, the psychologist distinguishes this condition from postpartum psychosis, which she considered to be a completely different medical emergency.
