Yeah, according to both Patrick and the prosecution here, she allegedly told him that she heard a voice and had a moment of psychosis.

Now, according to the prosecution, she said that she heard a man's voice telling her to kill her kids and herself because, quote, it was her last chance.

Well, Natalie, it's very different.

So postpartum psychosis is also a mental health condition that can occur soon after giving birth, but it's categorized by the medical community as a mental health emergency that affects a person's sense of reality.

It can cause hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, or other behavioral changes.

It's rare, estimated to affect about one or two in a thousand new mothers, and only a very small percentage of those women go on to die by suicide or commit infanticide.

Now, it's also worth noting that it is both preventable and treatable.

Medical experts say that those suffering with postpartum psychosis require inpatient psychiatric care.

That's where they can be continuously monitored by professionals to ensure that they stay safe.

And as we mentioned, those two different diagnoses really are so different, and there should be a lot of regular screenings for postpartum depression.

I mean, I can speak from my own personal experience.

I had a baby just about nine months ago now, and every appointment, including in the hospital, at the pediatrician, I was always screened for any postpartum depression symptoms.

I was very lucky that I didn't have symptoms.

But as a part of my reporting in this case, also a few years ago, I did some interviews with women who had experienced PPP.

That's postpartum psychosis.

They were all part of this support organization for women who had experienced that.

And I distinctly remember at the time one woman telling me that when she used to experience postpartum psychosis, she would have these hallucinations that she had actually stabbed her baby.

even though that had never happened and her child was not harmed at all.

And fortunately, those women who I spoke to as a part of that story got help and no longer experienced those symptoms.
