It stated, quote, sex bias remains prevalent in human clinical research trials, end quote.

And historically, health data has been collected from men and generalized to fit women.

In 1977, the FDA excluded women, quote, of childbearing potential from clinical trials.
voice-verified
The exclusion wasn't lifted until 1993.

And out of the 13 medications that Lindsay was prescribed, 10 of them were tested and put on the market during this period.
voice-verified
Now, we aren't saying this to put anyone under the impression that medication isn't safe for women, but it does highlight just how much less focus there has been on women's treatment.
voice-verified
And sadly, it's not just treatment that has a delay on.

The Center for Addiction and Mental Health notes that women take

on average, two years longer than men to receive a proper diagnosis for their mental health disorders.

The majority of the time, due to overlapping symptoms and biases, women are diagnosed with general anxiety at first, rather than the conditions they truly have, which was exactly the case for Lindsay Clancy,
voice-verified
one other significant reason why women face longer times getting diagnosed is the fact that symptoms of mental health disorders can differ in men and women and historically symptoms men faced have been prioritized and seen as the quote-unquote face of the disorder and when you bring postpartum mental health disorder into things they get even more complicated
voice-verified
For generations, women have been expected to endure the hardest parts of motherhood in silence.
voice-verified
The same goes for miscarriages and stillbirths.

So perhaps the case became less about Lindsay herself and more about what it highlighted, the need for more recognition, research, and support for women struggling with postpartum mental illnesses.
voice-verified
Lindsay's trial brought attention to postpartum mental health issues, and many women took their stories to social media and even local news outlets.
voice-verified
During the trial, women felt empowered to share their own personal stories of postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis.
voice-verified
Not because their experiences were the same as Lindsay's, but because the trial forced a public conversation about the hidden struggles many mothers face after childbirth.
voice-verified
Women started to see that it was important to speak about a condition that is often suffered in silence and ignored by professionals.
voice-verified
Now, I am not putting full blame on Lindsay's providers.
voice-verified
I think mental health providers have such an important and incredibly difficult job.
