## Resource

The haunting case of Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in 2001, still echoes through legal and mental health debates—especially as recent trials like Lindsay Clancy’s reveal how the system grapples with postpartum psychosis. Her once-convicted attorney, now 86, continues to advocate for better mental health care for women, reflecting how public perception has shifted over time. While Yates was eventually found not guilty by reason of insanity, Clancy’s trial ended in a mistrial, leaving charges active and sparking renewed questions about accountability, diagnosis, and justice when severe mental illness collides with tragedy.
