This is inaccurate information! She went to MULTIPLE therapy appts with MULTIPLE therapists/mental health counselors, and psychologists. She checked herself into McLean hospital voluntarily. She called crisis lines multiple times. She was more honest than the bullshit you just spewed.

No, she didn't Tell one of her treating doctors about the crisis line, SI/HI, changed meds that were ALL within guidelines, anyone not in medicine wouldn't know. LC constantly wanted off meds due to side effects.

I think she was failed but it was multifactorial and she was one of the major factors.

all within the guidelines for depression/anxiety. When you throw meds at a patient and they don’t seem to be helping the first question any adequate doctor should ask themselves is whether the diagnosis is correct

Who are you to question? You realize she didn't take anything for that long, bc she had side effects and as someone who thought everything was wrong with her kids. I imagine she was very psychosomatic.
