MA - Lindsay Clancy, Strangled 3 Children in Murder/Suicide Attempt, Duxbury, 25 Jan 2023

[Knox]

But two points. First of all, anecdotal evidence is still anecdotal. There are people out there who had the exact opposite experience to you. One med was not sufficient for them and they ended up suicidal until they were on combination therapy. So we can't go by personal anecdotes. We have to follow the evidence. That's what this lawsuit will be about. Second, let's not forget that Clancy now has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (per links int his thread), and the majority of patients with bipolar disorder require two or more medications. That's what the evidence shows.

I think none of us really knows how this will shake out because we're not privy to the medical chart, what was documenting, what were the presenting symptoms, why certain choices were made. We prescribe antidepressants for one thing, mood stabilizers for something else, antipsychotics for something else, despite the fact that they all overlap for some conditions. And then we have augmentation strategies if one med isn't enough. This is all evidence based. We may not like it and some patients respond poorly to it, but I think the lawsuit will focus on whether or not the doctors were following clinical guidelines.

If they missed the diagnosis, this will be their downfall, IMO.

Thanks for this information, it will be an interesting trial to follow.

Exactly. IMO, hers is the ultimate thousand-mile stare. It's a living hell, where she's existing.
