I know there are psychiatrists and psychologists and other assorted professionals that love to conjure up all kinds of alphabet abbreviations for various afflictions of the human mind. And, to be certain, doing so contributes to the professions cash flow. I got all that!
The facts don’t change though just because they slap a post partum analysis on this woman overnight.
She butchered her own 3 babies. The question is not “is she insane”? That she is is clear as the driven snow and in her case her insanity is irreparable.
Some would say that society should house, clothe and feed her, and pay Psychiatrists and Psychologists to dote over her for the next 50 years ala Charles Manson.
I don’t agree.
The question is what to do with her.
Manson cost millions and millions to imprison all these years. As a society, we are broke! So, my question is ........”Is our society as insane as this woman for spending billions on the Manson’s of the world?”
Post-Partum depression is not irreparable. It is entirely treatable and is frequently self-repairing and requires close monitoring to make sure it doesn’t downward spiral into a psychosis that results in murder or suicide.
Manson was not psychotic..he was a sociopath who knew exactly what he was doing. a sociopath is sane, but evil.
Manson was very much in touch with reality.Evil, lacking normal social ability to related to others in a normal way...but NOT psychotic.
