The Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial Draws Hundreds of Supporters, Many Women, Who Say 'Nobody Takes Us Seriously' The recent Lindsay Clancy murder trial has brought attention to a disturbing reality: our mental health system is unprepared to handle the complex needs of new mothers, particularly those suffering from postpartum psychosis.
Hundreds of supporters gathered outside the courthouse, displaying signs that read "Believe" and "She Needed Help," indicating that this case has resonated with many who feel dismissed, neglected, and ignored when speaking up about their own struggles.
