About this episode

The episode discusses the Lindsay Clancy trial and explores various aspects of postpartum mental health conditions.

Kaveh is joined by Reproductive Psychiatrist Katrina Furey, Dr. Salman Mirza and Rebecca Watson to discuss the Lindsay Clancy case (the tragic case of an OB/GYN nurse who is undergoing trial for the deaths of her three young children) and to untangle the difference between postpartum depression, postpartum OCD, and postpartum psychosis. You’ll discover why the postpartum period is the highest-risk time for a woman’s first mental health episode, how rapid hormone shifts can affect the brain, and why intrusive thoughts are not always the same thing as psychosis.We break down the signs clinicians should not miss - including sleep loss, agitation, paranoia, delusions, hallucinations, and sudden changes in cognition or behavior - plus the real-world screening tools and treatment decisions that can make the difference, from mood stabilizers to ECT to emergency hospitalization. Katrina also explains why many providers are undertrained in women’s mental health, why a simple depression screen is not enough, and how systems failures can leave patients and families without the help they need.
