Clinical psychologist explains Lindsay Clancy's postpartum psychosis defense
Heather Berlin, a neuroscientist, clinical psychologist and clinical professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, joins "The Daily Report" to explain the difference between postpartum depression and psychosis and what it means for Lindsay Clancy's murder trial.
During the trial of Lindsay Clancy, her lawyer Kevin Reddington confronted talk show host John De Petro outside the courtroom. In a viral video, Reddington angrily told Petro, "You are a biased weasel." Petro responded, "That's ridiculous, Kevin." Reddington then urged Petro to "read what you say about my case" and added, "Stay away from me."
The incident stemmed from speculation about Patrick Clancy, Lindsay’s ex-husband, being involved in the deaths of their three children on January 24, 2023. However, Patrick testified that he found his children motionless in the basement, each with an exercise resistance band around their neck. Lindsay’s defense argued that she was in a psychotic episode due to postpartum mental illness, and that she could not be held criminally responsible.
If found not guilty by reason of insanity, Lindsay would be committed to a state mental health facility.
