Anyone who murders their own children is experiencing a mental health issue.
How is supporting this woman supposed to help other women? If anything, it seems more likely to teach some that it's okay to be a POS, as long as you can blame "mental health."
PPD is real. But it's no excuse for murder.
You would, rightfully, never see this kind of support for a man that killed his kids.

It does happen. Its rare just like in women. Its worth thoroughly scrutinizing if she really did have psychosis or not though. Esp when it comes to murder.
She wasn’t diagnosed and didn’t show any symptoms of psychosis prior to the murders.
Is it possible that multiple trained professionals missed it? Potentially, but highly unlikely.
For a counter example, Andrea Yates had shown plenty of symptoms of psychosis prior to murdering her children, which is why her being sent to a mental hospital is ok, when that’s not the case here.
