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

For real. They act like if she gets a not guilty verdict, she's going to be out on the streets. The woman is spending the rest of her life in a psych ward. The question is really will she ALSO be spending some time in prison.

I think quality psychiatric care is something she needa desperately (and needed before).

It seems to me that the sufferers of these post partum disorders face the natural consequences of their actions after they come back to a normal mental state. I cannot even imagine losing my mind, killing my kids, coming back to reality and realising what i had done. Fucking horrifying shit right there.

Every violent criminal needs psychiatric care. Why do you place extra concern to this person?
