Selective Psychosis?

October 30, 2021

 

A woman who claimed that postpartum psychosis (worse than postpartum depression) caused her to kill her two infant daughters was released from prison after 32 years. She was apparently a model prisoner (no major violations) and all-around good citizen. She feels remorse, shame and responsibility for her acts, according to her lawyer.

 

What puzzled me, though, was that her psychosis didn’t lead her to kill her son, born in the years between the births of the two girls.
