I Was Wrong About Lindsay Clancy. Why I’ve Changed My Mind | Ep 1388

'Relatable' Full Podcast Episodes
Was Lindsay Clancy actually diagnosed with postpartum depression? As the trial concludes, Allie gives updates and modifications to her original opinion. While the defense and social media paint the narrative that Lindsay was a struggling mom seeking help who was recklessly put on multiple psychiatric medications that caused her to murder her children, Allie analyzes why that idea doesn’t hold up. Re-evaluating the case in light of the surprising fact that no doctor formally diagnosed Lindsay with postpartum depression, anxiety, or psychosis, what Allie originally reported as nuanced now appears much more unequivocal. Mental health experts from both sides of the case gave their professional opinions as to why it is unlikely that Lindsay was experiencing a psychotic episode when she murdered her children. One doctor presents the concept of “altruistic filicide” — the idea that Lindsay killed her children out of a distorted sense of love or protection. Allie examines all these developments as well as more conspiracy theory claims regarding Lindsay's husband, Patrick — this time rooted in astrology. Allie concludes this heavy episode by looking at the life and legacy of Dolly Parton in light of her passing.
