  "account": "On Tuesday, testimony resumed in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachusetts. Rebecca Jollotta, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who treated Clancy starting in November 2022, testified. Clancy, 35, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children - 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan - in their home in Duxbury on Jan. 24, 2023. Prosecutors claim Clancy planned the murders, while her attorney argues she should not be held criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder. Jollotta testified that Clancy experienced suicidal thoughts but did not report feeling suicidal. She explained that Clancy was prescribed medications to address her mental health struggles, but after four days, Clancy did not find them effective. Jollotta encouraged Clancy to give the medication more time, stating it was common practice to pair low doses of medications to manage symptoms. Clancy expressed concerns about feeling addicted to one of the medications, Ativan, and wrote messages to Jollotta through the MyChart app, indicating she was scared and considering her options. The defense attorney also wanted to call Emily Thorndike, a TikTok user, to testify about her experience working at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. However, the judge did not make a ruling on this request during the proceedings.",
