So I would say you're right.

There's postnatal.

There must be a combination of things there.

But at least I guess obviously it's a blessing the baby survived.

And also it's probably this terrible cry for help where at least there was a bystander that could then redirect her for treatment.

Because as I understand it, she didn't get any criminal treatment.

There'd have to be.

I think there's a real deeper understanding now around postnatal and the triggers of women's offending and breakdowns.

And I

I just, I mean, I'm thinking back to 70s, 80s, 90s.

There's probably not just a lack of awareness, but probably from a society's point of view, we just sort of wanted to put it under the rug or maybe deal with it with some sort of shock therapy or whatever they did back then.

But now at least there's, I think...

You know, a stricter regime around treatment.

But even now we get it wrong.

I had a client who, this was 2010s, where she had murdered her husband, but she was a serious victim of physical abuse.

Neighbors would hear him abuse her all the time.

And so there was no doubt about that.

And she had been hospitalized because she'd had an episode of psychosis from the abuse she was enduring from him.

And they watched her for a few days and then thought, okay, she's good now, let her out.

And then the murder happened.
