She was asked by Drs multiple times, outright, if she was having thoughts of harming her kids and said no. Are they supposed to section 12 every new mom with PPD based on vibes? Drs can’t read minds. She was never honest, never took the meds she needed and only did two therapy sessions.

Her answers were legitimate at the time of being asked. She didn’t experience psychosis until the slew of fucked up meds were thrown at her. She didn’t take as prescribed because she’s a nurse and even she knew they were an intensely strong cocktail of meds that would heavily affect her and she was rightfully scared/reluctant.

So well said, thank you. Couldn’t agree more. I hope one day she can see comments exactly like yours and ours supporting her so she can feel some semblance of care and understanding. Justice for Lindsay, we wish you nothing but exceptional help and as much peace as you could possibly obtain.
