As Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial moves through a Massachusetts courtroom, the country is talking about postpartum psychosis. It’s a conversation I know well, and something important is missing.
Eleven years ago, I lived the illness now being argued over in a court of law. I had given birth to my second child five and a half months prior. I was a registered nurse and had been seen by health care professionals throughout both pregnancies. And I had never once been taught that postpartum psychosis could happen to me.
