Deep Dive: A murder trial in the US is making global headlines and has sparked a passionate conversation about the mental health of mums.

Lindsay Clancy is accused of murdering her three children, and while she’s admitted to the killings, her lawyers say she can’t be held responsible because she was suffering at the time from postpartum psychosis.

In this episode of The Briefing, we speak with psychologist, author and someone who has experienced the condition, Ariarne Beeston from COPE, to unpack the case and how a lack of support for mothers can lead to the most tragic consequences.

This episode discusses crimes against children as well as serious mental health conditions including suicide.
