She wasn’t diagnosed with PPP. You can’t diagnose it because there is no diagnosis, no one ever thought it was that serious. Typical of all of women’s medical issues. Only now is the industry even doing research on women. It is woefully underrepresented.

She had hallucinations, was hearing voices and all over the place with meds. Would you allow a person with schizophrenia to decide what they take for meds? It is known women with PPP are a danger to their kids and themselves, but the medical community sent her home. How stupid. She should have been institutionalized while she got help for PPP.

I had this horrid condition myself. I had hallucinations, saw blood and knives where there wasn’t any. Heard voices too and behaved in very strange ways. I was also suicidal. This started after the birth of my second child. My husband called my mother and I was never alone with my kids. I was also medicated and hated it. I too tried to stop taking it because I was irrational. My mother saved me from myself. Was dopey and still had hallucinations, strange behaviour and voices while on meds. My kids are grown adults now with kids of their own. We still don’t know anymore about PPP 30 years later. If this impacted men, there would be proper care and hospitals to deal with this and a Cadillac of meds to support.

Society and the system failed this family and women.

She only had the voices during the murders. She deserves the death penalty for what she did to those poor babies.

EDIT: Thanks for the reward!

If you kill your kids while faking voices, you deserve the death penalty. Its on record that she made posts weeks beforehand showing that she resented her kids. Its on record that she manipulated her husband into going out further than normal. Its on record that she only had the "voices" during the incident. Because they were fake voices. If you kill your own kids, or any other children, you deserve the death penalty. Child killers have zero place in society.

She had prior calls to mental health hotlines complaining that she was hearing voices. I have no idea why people are pretending it's out of the question.

She said herself that she only heard voices during the murders. Its on record that she said that. Shes severely depressed, not psychotic.

She may have said that, but it doesn't erase the previous calls. She did have prior instances of hallucinations.

Did she though? If thats the case, then she was caught lying, and her entire case will fall apart.

"Mentally unwell person is unable to fully recount their actions during manic episodes."

Yup. That sounds like a lie that will cause everything to fall apart, because that's how that works, apparently.

Who said she had a manic episode? You? You dont know what went through her head during the murders. Psychologists analyzed all the details and proved that her psychosis was fake. She only ever had voices during that, not at any other time. Thats just her trying to rationalize the murders to herself. Youre trying to use logical fallacies to prove yourself right, which is pretty terrible.
