I sympathize with your wife Adam. I have been struggle with mental illness most of my life as it runs in my family. However, there is still a lot of stigma in the church regarding it. However, there has been a lot of progress since the 80's when I first became a Christian. Since then I have had a lot of ups and downs with my walk with God, anxiety/depression/mode disorders, struggles with alcohol, etc. Then in 2003 I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 (basically not as bad as mania but darker depressions) after a really dark depression. They changed you my medication due to a chemical imbalance in my brain. Since then having more ups and downs with my mental illness, walk with God, alcohol use, playing in a secular rock band, etc. Also, having a family of my own and full time job with it's won struggles, I finally came to the end of myself. In 2012 I was ready to take my own life as I had a plan and was going to follow through with it. However, I cried out to God one last time and then thoughts went in my head not do it and thinking of my wife, kids and grand kids. The hurt I would be leaving behind would be tremendous. So I turned myself into an in-patient mental hospital again. I had not been drinking alcohol for a while but my depression was the darkest it has ever been in my life. So once I got out of the hospital, I started on a new journey in life to make my mental health, walk with God and family a propriety in my life. So I removed somethings out of my life that were not good for me, started attending therapy, got on some medication changes, started regularly attending church, quit my rock band, not to drink alcohol anymore and started using my musical talent to play in the churches worship band. It took months to come out of the depression but it eventually lifted. I have not been clinically depressed since 2012 and have really put my identity in Christ and not my mental illness. I have still had my struggles as we all do but doing it God's way it the best way. Using the natural and spiritual gifts he give like medication, prayer, support, etc. Also, there is a great Christian ministry for mental health that I have facilitated support groups and look forward to someday bringing to my newest church.

I suffered with PPD with 2/4 children. I would be very sad with severe anxiety. But, I never thought of hurting my kids or anyone else. postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis are both terrible in my opinion. This story's absolutely heartbreaking. May those 3 angels Rip🕊️🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. Im sending prayers out to all women who are struggling with this.

You sound like a great partner/person. I had HG with both of my pregnancies. It's truly.... awful doesn't describe it. My oldest was 11 months when I got pregnant with our second... then I went through PPD/severe PPA. The thing is... you can be so aware of PPD... the signs, symptoms... but once it hits you, it doesn't phase you to think it's that. You truly think you're a horrible mom/wife/person and everyone is better off without you. Luckily I had my husband and an amazing mental health practitioner that acted immediately. My youngest is 16 months old... and honestly, the PPD still lingers around despite treatment and therapy. Anyway, thank you and your wife for your story. I'm praying for the Clancy family. 💗 -Klarissa

So incredibly heartbreaking. 😭💔

No come on. Im not saying it’s not real or whatever. But protect your kids. Regardless of whether someone is ill or not. Remove the children. If you don’t. This is the risk you take. Someone has to protect the children. That’s your job.

I am so glad your wife has you. I had ppd with my first baby. I remember laying down, facedown in my front yard and begging God to help me. It was so scary.

Why did you continue to have children if this was the case? If she wanted an abortion who kept her from having an abortion? Seem's similar to the Andrea Yates case so you got lucky! If Lindsay Clancy really was in a postpartum psychosis this is entirely different than postpartum depression and she should have NEVER been left alone nevermind alone with all 3 children!

Pregnancy and childbirth is a life and death situation, my last pregnancy was tough on me thats why i got sterilised

I had hyperemesis gravidarum and I had the picc line. I also suffered with severe PPD and a lot of anxiety/panic attacks. All issues got worse with each pregnancy, so I decided to never have anymore kids after my third. I wouldn’t have made if it wasn’t for God and I still suffer with the anxiety and God gives me hope for he will see me through.

Why do so many of these cases have a religious bent?

Just because one can have children does Not mean they should, men will not and cannot ever understand about the birth of a child, just because you can does not mean you should. And don't use the bible as an excuse because that is what you want.

I am not religious, but stayed. I am very thankful that you really seemed to understand and sympathize with everyone you spoke about it the video. Sometimes people who also use their religion in this videos seem so pretentious or judgmental. I am very glad this came up today. Personally, HG is so debilitating. I had a pillow and blankets in the bathroom so i could try and sleep between the vomiting. I was in the ER every 2 days for electrolytes/fluids/and tube food. I lost 67 lbs my first trimester. I couldn’t even hold down water. It was also EXTREMELY triggering to my then under control ED, so when I stopped having HG I was left with the urge to force it and continue losing weight the wrong was AFTER we had our son. I lost one twin in the first trimester before we were originally told it was HG and we have yet to try again just do to that pain and suffering from my pregnancy and that recovery. Thats without all of the other mental issues I suffered and the 11 other pregnancies we had lost. I hope your wife and family are healing more everyday 🫶🏻
