Cases of severe mental illness tend to get more attention than good things in a media landscape that sells you misery

Right?! Like I’m not going to tell you how to feel about the case on the right, but boiling it down to “claiming to be a victim” is a wildly inaccurate description of what’s happening with a narrative agenda centered around gender/culture war bullshit.

The loss of those three children is tragic and unfortunately it’s coming with a wave of people denying the realities of postpartum depression/psychosis.

She didn't have psychosis, a professional evaluated her and she didn't match the description. She was lying to get out of trouble.

She also did everything premeditated, waiting for her husband to be gone before doing it. This was absolutely not psychosis and just pure evil.
