Why Lindsay Clancy's Treatment Never Changed

Lindsay Clancy's treatment plan barely moved after a nurse practitioner flagged bipolar disorder in 2022 — and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains why that matters, while defense attorney Eric Faddis tackles an entirely different fight brewing online.
Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Her defense concedes she killed them and argues postpartum illness left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she knew what she was doing.
Months before the killings, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta told Lindsay and her husband she might have bipolar disorder, based partly on a forty-eight-hour stretch without sleep after starting an antidepressant. She added an antipsychotic used for bipolar disorder and insomnia, but the antidepressant kept going. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she considered bipolar disorder that December and ruled it out for lack of mania — euphoria, high energy, grandiosity. McLean Hospital staff discussed sleep loss tipping someone hypomanic before discharging Lindsay with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder.
Shavaun walks through how long a bipolar diagnosis typically takes to land, why depression gets diagnosed first almost every time, and whether the standard clinical checklist was ever built with a mother of three small children in mind.
From there, Faddis shifts to Patrick Clancy, who's now being accused on TikTok of murdering his own children — compared to Chris Watts, blamed for pushing Lindsay from a window — despite Lindsay's own defense team conceding in open court that she did it. Faddis explains what legal options actually exist against creators reaching millions of people, and why "theory" framing doesn't always hold up.
