Summary
On the surface, Andrea Yates was a former valedictorian, nurse, and a devout mother of five from Clear Lake, Texas. But deep down, Andrea was consumed by religious guilt, postpartum psychosis, and the manipulative teachings of a fringe preacher who convinced her that demons were pursuing her family. This episode traces her deteriorating mental health across nearly a decade of mismanaged care, isolation, and unchecked delusion that all came to a head in June of 2001.
