Media Cannot Distinguish between Mental Illness and Overmedication

     The good news is that Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial in Massachusetts is attracting national attention. She is charged with three counts of first degree murder for killing her three young children on January 24, 2023. She has pleaded not guilty.

     Her defense will show that Lindsay was suffering from gross overmedication, and thus she should be acquitted because she had been “involuntarily intoxicated” by the broad cocktail of psychiatric medications she had recently been prescribed.

     The bad news is that the media covering the trial is misrepresenting the importance of this landmark case and is too often blaming postpartum psychosis, a mental illness, as the cause of the homicide, not her sanity-robbing overmedication.

     One AP headline this morning by reporter Michael Casey reads “Lindsay Clancy goes on trial, saying postpartum psychosis drove her to kill her 3 children.”

     That’s not what Lindsay is saying at all. She’s saying that she went to a psychiatrist for help after becoming anxious about returning to work as a nurse after giving birth to her third child. He prescribed her Zoloft. Her mental health began deteriorating immediately.

     Over the next four months three different psychiatrists, two nurse practitioners, and one doctor prescribed even more medications for her. In that short time period she was prescribed a total of eleven different psychiatric medications, including five antidepressants, three benzodiazepines, and one sleep medication.

     Her “mental illness” was caused by this tsunami of medication she had been given.

     The AP article, not alone in turning a blind eye to the true culprits here, quotes Nicole Cirino, a frequent psychiatry apologist and the director of the division of reproductive psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine. “Many of the women who harm their children while in the grip of postpartum psychosis believe their actions are helping the child.”

     Not “in the grip” of psychiatric drugs, the actual cause for Lindsay’s temporarily crazed behavior.

     In contrast to the mainstream media coverage, David Carmichael, manager of the Know Your Drugs global awareness campaign, recounts far more accurately the full history of Lindsay’s descent into her vile overmedication in his article on last week’s Mad in America website.

     Apparently too many mainstream media reporters have been so indoctrinated with the psychiatry/Big Pharma party line – as too many Americans have — that they cannot see the actual facts in cases like these which point to the actual cause behind such violent acts that occur due to savage overmedication.

     These brainwashed reporters now reinforce the psychiatric indoctrination Big Pharma has been marketing to us for so long. Do they do so inadvertently or because they’d rather prioritize a “good story” than tell the truth.
