The elephant in the Massachusetts courtroom, hearing the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, is that women’s health has been hijacked by the psychopharmaceutical industry and none of the numerous cocktails of psychiatric drugs prescribed to Clancy “treat” any part of Clancy’s alleged postpartum depression/psychosis and, in fact, may have contributed to her deteriorating mental wellbeing.

Of course, it’s a fact that women represent the largest drugged class in the United States. That’s right, women are twice as likely as men to be prescribed psychiatric drugs with about 1 in 5 adult women taking at least one psychiatric drug with one quarter of women on an antidepressant. So, it should be no surprise that Clancy, who complained of severe insomnia and anxiety, was labeled mentally ill and drugged. That’s how it works. Medicine goes out the window and is replaced by psychiatric diagnosing and drugging.

But the problem with psychiatry labeling Clancy mentally ill, is that nobody in the medical community stopped to find out or even consider what was causing Clancy’s insomnia and anxiety. You know, were there physiological/biological reasons for Clancy’s reported symptoms? The world will never know because Clancy’s medical experts, her psychiatrists, never bothered to do extremely inexpensive basic blood tests that may have revealed what was causing Clancy’s symptoms. It’s important. In fact, it’s life or death important.

If Clancy’s team of psychiatrists had at least done the bare minimum of conducting a basic blood test to determine whether Clancy was suffering from depleted vitamin and hormone levels, the world may never have heard of the Massachusetts mother. If Clancy’s psychiatrists had called for Comprehensive Blood Work (CBS) it would have provided data about hemoglobin and hematriot levels for postpartum anemia, especially if there were blood loss during delivery.

Targeted blood panels that may have been ordered include Thyroid Hormones (TSH), Iron and Ferritin, Vitamin D and B12 and, of course, the hormones Estrogen, Progesterone and Prolactin. Extreme fatigue and rapid weight loss are symptoms of Postpartum thyroiditis. Depletion of Iron and Ferritin from giving birth and breastfeeding may be revealed, and symptoms of severe neurological and mood disturbances may be the result of depletion of Vitamin D and B12. Though rarely tested, reproductive hormones naturally plummet by up to 90% within 48 hours of delivery and remain low while breastfeeding.

The above blood tests, especially in women who are experiencing postpartum symptoms, reveal a wealth of health information. For example, Vitamin D acts as a neurosteroid that helps produce serotonin. A decrease in Vitamin D levels is heavily linked to an increased risk of postpartum depression.

Additionally, Vitamins B6, B9 and B12 are vital for nervous system health and depletion can lead to anemia, cognitive impairment and psychological distress. The loss of Iron can cause anemia and profound physical fatigue, apathy and mood instability.

Lindsay Clancy never received a blood test for vitamin deficiencies, hormone deficiencies or thyroid levels. But she was given the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale test (EPDS), which is psychiatry’s postpartum mental health test. Clancy didn’t do well on the test, scoring 23 out of 30 reflecting depression and extreme anxiety. Of course, by the time the Edinburgh test was administered in November of 2022, Clancy’s psychiatrists had already prescribed numerous mind-altering antidepressants and benzodiazepines over a two-month period. It’s fair to say that given the number of drugs Clancy had been prescribed, the accused no longer was in her right mind as it had been altered by the chemicals.

The real insult, though, is that Clancy was being plied with psychiatric drugs that do not treat any known abnormality in the brain. Worse, the prescribed psychotropic drugs also do not treat physiological deficiencies, like depleted vitamin levels, minerals and hormones. Physiological deficiencies must be treated with direct nutrient replacement, targeted dietary changes and hormone replacement therapy.

In fact, it is well known within the medical community that vitamin and hormone deficiency can cause or mimic psychiatric symptoms. Prescribing psychiatric drugs to someone experiencing vitamin and hormone deficiencies, including the antidepressants, benzodiazepines and antipsychotics that Clancy had been prescribed, may further deplete the body’s already depleted nutrients.

Given that none of the psychiatrists seem to have been interested in Clancy’s health and, in fact, may have been contributing to the accused mother’s mental distress through prescribed psychotropic drugs, one must wonder what happened to “First, do no harm.”

Clancy sought help from a variety of medical professionals and at one point was being prescribed drugs by three different prescribers. Ironically, it wasn’t until Clancy had killed her three children and tried to kill herself that the medical community finally order a blood test and, you guessed it, the blood test was ordered to find out what were the concentration levels of psychiatric medications in Clancy’s system the day after the tragic murders.

The Clancy case has been dubbed “America’s saddest murder trial.” Perhaps it is. Three children are dead, a family shattered and a mother’s fate lies in the hands of twelve jurors. But this trial has exposed much more than the tragedy of Lindsay Clancy.

The questions that need to be asked and answered begin with: how many other women have gone through hell and been labeled as mentally ill when, in fact, they may have been suffering from real physiological symptoms arising from childbirth that should have been treated without psychiatric intervention?

How many psychiatrists have labeled and drugged new mothers experiencing post-partum depression as a mental illness without performing basic blood tests to, at least, rule out physiological causes?

How many new mothers have been relegated to a life of psychiatric drug use because they received a psychiatric diagnosis for a physiological condition?

Yes. This is “America’s saddest murder trial” and the only thing that could make it worse would be to ignore what has become psychiatry’s fraudulent excuse for care of America’s mothers.
