“Another Lindsay Clancy” — What Those Words Do to You

“Another Lindsay Clancy.” You’ve seen it in your feed. Maybe you’ve typed it yourself. Three words that feel like understanding — and replace every specific thing about a woman’s crisis with a woman you already have opinions about.

Clancy’s case had its own medications, its own doctors, its own clinical decisions. Every subsequent case has entirely different specifics. Postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis are completely different conditions with different treatments and different failure points. But the phrase “another Lindsay Clancy” collapses every distinction into a single shorthand.

Providers saw these women’s symptoms, documented the deterioration, and moved on to the next patient. Then we decided the women didn’t warn us and didn’t try hard enough. Studies found that four in ten new mothers with depression had thoughts about harming their child. The doctors treating them didn’t realize how prevalent those thoughts were. The system was built around a blind spot it didn’t know it had.

“Reach out, talk to someone” — that’s the message after every one of these stories. These women did reach out. Tony argues the comparison isn’t a description of what went wrong — it’s the same failure, repeated by different people in a different room.
