Lindsay Clancy, Intrusive Thoughts, and Moms on Trial
About this episode
The episode discusses the Lindsay Clancy trial and its implications for postpartum mental health, featuring insights from expert Karen Kleiman.
The Lindsay Clancy Trial is over, for now, but we can’t stop wondering how and why a mother killed her children after months of psychiatric treatment, appointments, and doctors. This case has brought new international attention for its focus on postpartum mental health. In her kitchen, Clancy had a book called, “Good Moms have Scary Thoughts,” written by a postpartum mental health expert, and used as evidence by the defense that Clancy was seeking help. The author of that book, Karen Kleiman, joins host Anna Kusmer on Say More to discuss the book, intrusive thoughts, and moms on trial. Email us at saymore@globe.com.
