Lindsay Clancy's Children Could Have Been Saved

Lindsay Clancy's Children Could Have Been Saved

Mental health conditions are now the leading killer of new mothers in the United States. The CDC puts the number at nearly twenty-three percent of all pregnancy-related deaths, ahead of hemorrhage, ahead of heart failure. Over eighty percent were preventable. One in five mothers gets screened for depression after delivery.

Those numbers sit behind the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy at Plymouth Superior Court. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, killed her three young children at their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023, less than three weeks after being released from a psychiatric facility. Prosecutors and her defense team agree she was mentally ill. The jury is weighing whether she was too ill to understand her actions.

Her defense rests on postpartum psychosis, a psychiatric emergency affecting roughly one to two mothers per thousand births. Despite the name, clinicians describe it as a mood disorder that arrives fast and disguises itself as ordinary postpartum fatigue. Bipolar history and prior episodes are the clearest warning signs, both screenable before delivery. With early treatment the acute crisis resolves in weeks.

Forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick testified for Clancy's defense. He also testified for Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in 2001 and was ultimately found not guilty by reason of insanity. Meghan Cliffel, a postpartum psychosis survivor from 2015, questions why the system waits for dead children before it pays attention.
