Yes is the short answer, it's entirely possible she had no insight into her distorted thinking.

So, you are telling me that this was not a gradual descent into depression, that, one day, full-blown post-partum depression descended on her? And she was unable to tell that she was abnormally unhappy and having dangerous thoughts? Your response above seems like a stretch.

well one article I read said she told the police or her family did that she was being treated for post-partum depression. It also stated that she was staying with her family because of this, in other words they already knew that she had this depression. Evidently she was one of the exceptions to whichever little miracle pill you believe would have helped prevent her from killing her child. Who knows, in her case perhaps the little miracl pill set her off. (and yeah my reading both sides of the phycotropic debate leads me to think that there are certain people who really should not take them at all)
