Podcasts about Postpartum psychosis

The trial of Lindsay Clancy has reignited difficult questions about postpartum mental illness, criminal responsibility, and where medicine and the law intersect. To examine the case from two legal perspectives, Kate speaks with two attorneys whose expertise approaches the case from different angles. Jenifer Marks is a former family law attorney and legal consultant. Marks discusses the family law issues surrounding the case, including child welfare and parental responsibility. Mark Eiglarsh is a criminal defense attorney, former prosecutor, and law professor. Eiglarsh explains the prosecution and defense strategies, Massachusetts' standard for criminal responsibility, and the legal challenges both sides face as the case unfolds.

This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher covers an enormous slate of political, true crime, and cultural stories, beginning with shocking allegations surrounding Costco's chicken supply chain, she then discusses the tragic murder of influencer Sara Gilson (Sarah Duffy) after she publicly accused her estranged husband of sexually abusing a minor. The centerpiece of the episode is an in-depth breakdown of the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial, and, more specifically postpartum psychosis. Corinne also dives into the explosive BBC investigation into Jared Leto, discussing decades of allegations involving teenage girls and celebrity power. The show continues with updates on the mysterious death of Nolan Wells, as well as another suspicious death involving a young Black woman that has received far less national attention. Later, Corinne examines Daniel Ortega's announcement that Nicaragua will no longer hold democratic elections before reacting to newly released body-camera footage in the fatal police shooting of an unarmed teenager in Austin. The episode wraps up with a discussion of newly released material from Anthony Fauci's personal diaries and Elon Musk's latest AI lawsuit.

Postpartum psychosis is a rare but serious mental health emergency that can occur after childbirth, causing symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and severe mood changes. Unlike postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis can involve a loss of touch with reality and requires immediate medical attention. The condition is at the center of the Lindsay Clancy trial, which is now underway. Dan spoke with Dr. Nicole Harrington Cirino, a psychiatrist, member of the Perinatal Psychosis Task Force at Postpartum Support International, and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Obstetrics & Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine, who explained the condition, its symptoms, and how it is diagnosed and treated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Motherwhelm, I sit down with Sophie, a mum of two, to talk about postpartum psychosis, bipolar disorder, recovery, and finding hope after severe perinatal mental illness.Just days after the birth of her first baby, Sophie experienced postpartum psychosis, a rare and severe mental health condition that completely changed the course of her motherhood journey. What followed were multiple hospital admissions, a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, a long road to recovery, and the heartbreaking question of whether she could safely have another child.Together, we explore what it felt like to lose touch with reality, the trauma of being separated from her newborn, and the extraordinary support Sophie received through a specialist Mother and Baby Unit. She also shares her experience of navigating a second pregnancy after postpartum psychosis, the return of intrusive thoughts after birth, and the ongoing process of parenting while living with bipolar disorder.This is an honest conversation about perinatal mental health, resilience, advocacy, and the courage it takes to ask for help. Sophie's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, that motherhood and serious mental illness can coexist, and that no mother should ever have to navigate these experiences alone.If you or someone you love has experienced postpartum psychosis, bipolar disorder, or severe perinatal mental illness, I hope Sophie's story offers hope, understanding, and reassurance that recovery is possible.Topics discussed: postpartum psychosis, bipolar disorder, Mother and Baby Unit, perinatal mental health, psychiatric admission, intrusive thoughts, recovery, motherhood after psychosis, maternal mental health, advocacy.

LifeStance therapist Kellen Smith joins us to explore the complex and often misunderstood reality of postpartum psychosis. The conversation unpacks what postpartum psychosis is, how it differs from postpartum depression, and why early recognition and support are so critical.   Drawing from her background in forensic psychology, Kellen helps listeners understand key warning signs, including severe mood changes, delusions, hallucinations, and a growing disconnect from reality.   We reflect on how stigma, limited resources, and missed opportunities for intervention can contribute to devastating outcomes—and how compassionate, timely care can make a meaningful difference for individuals and families.

I can't overstate the importance of today's episode. This conversation will literally change lives. Today, we shine the spotlight brightly on maternal mental health. Far too many moms have said, “I wasn't familiar with postpartum mood or anxiety disorders, until I experienced them.” Family members and friends have said, “I had no idea what they were going through.” It doesn't need to stay that way! If you've lived through perinatal mental health challenges, or you know someone who has, you know just how important this conversation is. In this empowering discussion, I'm joined by author and national advocate Teresa M. Twomey, social worker and parent educator Jennifer Vendetti, and social worker and perinatal mental health clinician Dr. Natasha Welz. Come and learn critical information that each of us should be familiar with. If there are women in your life who are expecting, who've recently had children, or who hope to have children, this episode is for you. And this is certainly relevant if you're an expectant mom yourself. You'll hear moving stories and reflections of lives impacted by transformative programs, and by the power of authentic and intentional relationships. My guests share practical tips to help each of us recognize the signs of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. We address myths and misconceptions, and the importance of normalizing the fact that postpartum mental health challenges can and do occur. We also talk through the ways moms can navigate and thrive with effective support, care, and intervention. This is a truly life-giving conversation. Listen in and share it with others! You'll be glad you did.

In the forty-eighth episode of The Motherwhelm, I am joined by Julia, a mum of two who shares her journey from a highly organised, perfection-driven pre-motherhood identity into the unpredictable reality of parenting. Julia speaks candidly about the shock of early motherhood, the pressure she placed on herself to “get it right,” and her experience of postnatal depression and psychosis. She opens up about the long road to recovery, the impact on her relationship, and how she rebuilt her confidence and sense of self. This is an honest and powerful conversation about surrender, healing, and finding joy in the small, everyday moments of motherhood.

When Patrick Clancy came home on January 24th, 2023, his wife was in the backyard, seriously injured. She told him she had tried to kill herself. He asked where the children were. She said the basement. What he found down those stairs broke every assumption anyone had about this story.Five days later, Patrick asked the world to forgive Lindsay. As he already had.Lindsay Clancy was a Duxbury, Massachusetts mother of three and a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital. After the birth of her youngest child, she spent months fighting for her mental health — seeing psychiatrists, visiting ERs, calling crisis lines, checking herself into McLean Hospital. Her husband called her doctors himself and said it was urgent. They were told to keep taking the medications. By January 2023, the defense says she had thirteen different prescriptions from multiple providers in four months with no meaningful coordination between them. The day before everything happened, her doctor raised her dose after a seventeen-minute virtual call.Prosecutors say she planned the murders. That she searched methods of killing. That she calculated her husband's absence and acted with premeditation. That argument goes before a jury on July 20th, 2026.Lindsay has pleaded not guilty. Her defense is lack of criminal responsibility — postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's psychiatric evaluation is set for April 10th. Her attorney has told the court she remains at serious risk of suicide.Patrick has moved to Manhattan. He told The New Yorker he was married to someone who got sick — and prosecutors have subpoenaed the tape.Hidden Killers tells the full story.

Today's guest shares the events leading up to her postpartum psychosis, what she experienced, and how she managed to recover. It is important to hear stories like this so people understand postpartum psychosis and know how to get help. We all need to recognize the symptoms and get the people we love the help they need. Join us for Jade's powerful story.  Jade Lloyd is a survivor of postpartum psychosis and a maternal mental health advocate from the UK. Her maternal mental health struggles began with anxiety and sleeplessness, soon progressing to scary, intrusive thoughts and hallucinations. Jade shares her story in the hope that more knowledge and understanding about postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis will lead to more moms getting the help they need without shame, blame, and stigma.  Show Highlights: Jade's story: An easy pregnancy and plans for an at-home water birth turned into an induction, epidural, followed by a ventouse/forceps delivery. Immediate feelings of shame and failure for not having the delivery she wanted With a December 2020 birth, COVID lockdowns contributed to Jade's mental health struggles. The first symptom Jade noticed was anxiety. Social media was Jade's primary socialization, which led her to feel even more inadequate as a new mom. Getting up the courage to admit to the doctor that she was “not ok.” When asking for help makes you feel like an inconvenience A specific event one night that scared Jade because of intrusive thoughts of harming herself Dealing with the self-imposed pressure to be the perfect mom Help from medications and a doctor who checked in with Jade regularly Even with medication, Jade's struggles continued with intrusive thoughts.  Jade's feelings of losing touch with reality and experiencing hallucinations Treatment in the mother-baby unit Jade's passion for sharing her story and doing advocacy work for those with PPP Hope for the future Jade's message to listeners and those who are suffering: “It's okay to ask for help.” Resources:  Connect with Jade Lloyd: Instagram  Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Julian P. Hobbs and Elli Hakami, the directors of HBO's docuseries The Cult Behind the Killer: The Andrea Yates Story. The series is a three-part exploration of the 2001 case where Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family bathtub. While previous coverage focused heavily on her postpartum psychosis, this documentary primarily investigates the influence of a controversial street preacher named Michael Woroniecki and his teachings on the Yates family.

This episode contains in depth discussion of infanticide, postpartum psychosis, suicide, and severe mental illness. Listener discretion is advised.In 2001, Andrea Yates drowned her five children in a case that shocked the nation and was quickly labeled as one of the most horrific crimes in American history. But what if the story most people remember is incomplete?In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, host Brittany Ransom revisits the Andrea Yates case with updated medical, legal, and psychological context focusing not on shock value, but on what the system missed before the tragedy ever occurred.Andrea Yates suffered from severe postpartum psychosis, a rare but life-threatening psychiatric condition that causes hallucinations, delusions, and a complete break from reality. She had a long, documented history of mental illness, multiple hospitalizations, suicide attempts, and explicit medical warnings not to be left alone, not to stop medication, and not to have more children. Those warnings were ignored.This episode breaks down:The warning signs of postpartum psychosis and why it is a psychiatric emergencyHow religious extremism and untreated mental illness collidedWhy Andrea Yates's first trial resulted in a wrongful convictionHow misinformation in court influenced a juryWhat changed after her acquittal by reason of insanity and what still hasn'tWhy women with postpartum psychosis are still more likely to be incarcerated than treatedMore than two decades later, Andrea Yates remains confined to a state psychiatric hospital. Her case is now taught in medical schools and cited in maternal mental health advocacy yet many of the same systemic failures remain.This is not a story about a monster. It's a story about untreated illness, institutional failure, and a tragedy that unfolded in plain sight.Because when systems fail, the truth always leaves a trail.Follow and join the conversation:

Timestamp to start the case: (13:23) In April 1993, Andrea and Russell ‘Rusty' Yates were married.   They told friends and family that they wanted to ‘have as many babies as nature allowed.' Between 1995 and 2000, the couple had five children - four sons and a daughter. Andrea struggled with her mental health.  After the birth of their fourth child, Andrea was hospitalized and the couple were advised to not have any more children.  Andrea's doctor said that any more births would "guarantee future psychotic depression." Despite this, the couple had a fifth child and Andrea's mental health decline continued.  She stopped taking all of her medication, she mutilated and cut herself, read the Bible obsessively and also stopped feeding the children. Rusty had been advised to not leave Andrea alone with the children.  Despite this, one morning in June 2001, Rusty left Andrea and the kids so that he could go to work.  His mother was scheduled to arrive at the home one hour after he left.    In that hour, Andrea filled the bathtub and drowned all five of her children - they were aged between 7 months old and 7 years old at the time. When police arrived at the home, Andrea was standing soaking wet in front of the house. “I just killed my children,” she told the officers.

Today's guest shares her story of postpartum psychosis, including the contributing factors, navigating the healthcare system, the overall lack of understanding of PMADs, and the preventative actions she took for her second pregnancy. She shares how her experience propelled her to take considerable steps to help and support others. Nancy Di Nuzzo, a mother of two, is an accountant-turned-postpartum doula. She is the founder of Anamav Postnatal Care, an agency providing comprehensive postpartum care in the Greater Toronto area. Their services include doula support, lactation support, psychotherapy, and sleep coaching. Nancy was inspired to create Anamav after her own traumatic postpartum experiences. As a perinatal mental health advocate, she is fiercely determined to support new parents and families to help fill the gaps in our healthcare system.  Show Highlights: Nancy's first pregnancy experience with her daughter, born in 2020: In summary, sleep deprivation led to the first postpartum psychotic episode and subsequent hospitalization. The labor and delivery and the first five days postpartum, when everything changed for Nancy Feeling the intensity of hyperdrive and an overwhelming need for perfection Hallucinations (not threatening or violent) and a break from reality that prompted a call to 911 A shocking twist: The ER records showed suspected postpartum psychosis, but they still discharged Nancy and prescribed sleeping pills; she ended up back there three days later. Cultural stigma and family interference that did not help Nancy Nancy's misdiagnosis from the psychiatrist: A bipolar disorder that required lifelong medication The first night in the hospital and the traumatic events that still haunt Nancy's memories Reconnecting with her daughter after a week-long stay in the hospital Preparing for a second pregnancy with preventative measures–and finding a very different birth and postpartum experience in 2023 Nancy's perspective on what SHOULD have happened during her first pregnancy and how we can do better in the area of awareness The facts: Every postpartum journey is different; problems can happen with a first, second, or third pregnancy—or with none at all.  Anamav Postnatal and how they work to help others Resources: Connect with Nancy Di Nuzzo and Anamav Postnatal: Website and Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone or text at 1-800-944-4773.

The focus of perinatal mental health is often on mothers, but we can't discount the importance of fathers' mental health on children, families, and relationships. Dads everywhere are struggling, and they often do so in silence. We need to raise awareness of this aspect of mental health! The Monday after Father's Day is International Fathers' Mental Health Day, so I'm discussing this topic and sharing helpful information in today's episode. Show Highlights: The messaging to boys and men from society My approach with clients and their partners is to try to reach more fathers. A compassionate approach promotes healing. M&M episodes focused on fathers and their mental health: 345: A New Father's Experience Through His Wife's Postpartum Psychosis with Tony Pacitti 286: Foundations in Paternal Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Daniel Singley 274: Healing from Paternal Postpartum Depression with Kevin Seldon 273: The Emotional Wellness of Fathers with Adam Angel, LCSW  242: The Value of Fathers and The Black Voice in Parenthood with Reginald Day 195: Paternal Postpartum Depression with David Levine  181: Fathers and Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Sheehan Fisher  177: The Loss of a Wife and Mother to PPD with Steven D'Achille   23: “He's Not Talking About It,” A Father's Journey with Mark Williams Frightening statistics about fathers' mental health Stigma prevents men from reporting symptoms and seeking help. Risk factors for dads are similar to those of moms. (Dads are up to 50% more likely to experience perinatal mental health issues if their partner experiences them.) Dads can feel excluded from caregiving and disconnected from mom and baby. Dads should be screened just like moms! We can do better to meet the needs of fathers! Partners should check in with each other and check on each other's mental health.

With a family history of postpartum depression, Chloe thought she knew what signs and symptoms to look out for when it came to perinatal mental illness. But, as she says, she didn't know about the ‘opposite side'. Immediately after birth, Chloe couldn't sleep, and within five days, she was experiencing a psychotic episode - or what she calls, ‘the crash'. Like clockwork, the same thing happened within five days of her second birth. In this episode, Tassie mum of two, Chloe, vividly recounts the insomnia, euphoria, mania, hallucinations, and delusions that consumed her early postpartum days, as well as the crippling and juxtaposing depression that unfortunately followed her second episode. Above all, Chloe takes me on a journey through the aftermath of her experiences: the loneliness she felt, the need to make sense of what happened, discovering her new ‘normal', fostering support and connections, the trial-and-error that comes with recovery, and all the ways she is determinedly trying to make peace with it all. This is Chloe's not-to-be-missed story about the highs and lows (and everything in between) of parenting and surviving postpartum psychosis.   EPISODE SPONSOR This episode of Perinatal Stories Australia is proudly sponsored by Mums Matter Psychology—because your mental health matters.

We're so grateful to welcome Aaisha Alvi, author of the powerful new book A Mom Like That, to the podcast. In this episode, Aaisha shares her harrowing journey through postpartum psychosis with unflinching honesty. While early motherhood is often depicted as a time of joy and connection, Aaisha's experience was marked by delusions, terrifying thoughts, and a health system that repeatedly failed to provide the support she desperately needed.When her second pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 14 weeks, Aaisha's psychosis returned—this time, accompanied by unimaginable and intrusive voices urging her to harm her daughter and others. Feeling evil and unworthy of life, Aaisha sought help repeatedly, only to be turned away at every turn.Driven by her mission to ensure no woman endures the prolonged suffering she faced, Aaisha is raising awareness about this life-threatening condition through her book, social media presence, and volunteering with Postpartum Support International. Her work is helping families access the resources they need to prevent tragic outcomes.Her story is a powerful call to action, shedding light on a condition that remains widely misunderstood and stigmatized, particularly for women of color. It challenges us to foster better awareness, compassion, and support for those navigating postpartum psychosis in silence.In this conversation, Aaisha also shares invaluable insights for perinatal providers, helping them recognize the symptoms of postpartum psychosis and offer critical support to women in their care. This is an essential episode—listen and learn.Trigger Warning: In this episode, we discuss postpartum psychosis, including intrusive suicidal and homicidal thoughts. These are difficult topics, and some listeners may find this conversation distressing.

One day, Ariane Beeston looked at her newborn baby, Henry, and saw a dragon. And not a cute, happy dragon - but an upset, red-faced dragon. At that moment, Ariane knew something was very wrong. Other very wrong, very scary things were happening too. A few months later, Ariane would be diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. But a diagnosis was only the beginning of her odyssey - one that would see her hospitalised twice, convinced that she didn't exist, and worried that she might never be herself again. This is a crucial story about maternal mental health and finding your way out of the darkness - and one that Ariane shares with Mia in this special two-part episode.

Now let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: In the wise words of James Clear (and Adam Smith, probably): "Don't spend what you haven't earned." A friend you've known for years killed her baby under the influence of a disorder called postpartum psychosis. The media is having a field day reporting her as a murderous monster, but why isn't it taking the opportunity to raise awareness of this condition so others can avoid repeating the nightmare she and her family are experiencing? You're torn between the desire to maintain the happiness you have with your current partner and the longing for love with someone else who seems unattainable. How can you reconcile these conflicting emotions without hurting anyone? Is there truth to the idea that your teen niece's father is "the kind of person" who might sexually assault her, or is your conspiracy-minded sister just paranoid about her ex having visitation rights? [Thanks to clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis for helping us with this one!] How can you focus on networking and being authentic on a professional level when your Fortune 10 employer has you signing non-disclosure agreements that keep you from mentioning the nature of your work or even the name of your company?
