Lindsay Clancy is on trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts for killing her three children — Cora, Dawson, and Callan — in their Duxbury home, and the detail nobody talks about is what happened right before it. Her husband told her doctors she was getting dramatically worse. They raised her dose anyway. Both sides agree on what she did. The trial turns entirely on whether she was criminally responsible for it. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, joins Tony Brueski to unpack both halves of this case: the misdiagnosis and the machine that fed it. Lindsay's providers allegedly charted intrusive thoughts when she described a male voice commanding her to harm her children — two different clinical realities treated as one. A forensic evaluation after the killings diagnosed her with Bipolar I, a condition her treating providers had considered but never confirmed while she was alive to be helped. Then came the prescribing. Thirteen medications in four months — benzodiazepines, antidepressants, an antipsychotic, a sedative. Patrick Clancy told her providers she was ten thousand times worse on Seroquel and begged them to pull everything. They increased it instead. She called a suicide hotline and was told she didn't qualify because she had no plan. She checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve and waited three days to see a doctor. Five separate providers treated her, and not one of them, the lawsuit alleges, pulled a complete history or picked up the phone to call another. Shavaun breaks down what that many medications do to a misdiagnosed brain, and why seventeen-minute appointments keep handing dying women a new prescription instead of a doctor who actually knows their case. She also explains what a functioning postpartum psychiatric safety net would have looked like at every single point this one broke.
