About two weeks after giving birth, Bridget María Chesterton was curled up on the bathroom floor, saying things that made little sense. Later, in the emergency room, she kept repeating, "What’s going on?” She’d lost touch with reality.
The family eventually learned that Chesterton had postpartum psychosis, a severe mental health disorder thrust into the spotlight by the case of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts woman on trial for strangling her three children. A key question is whether postpartum psychosis drove Clancy to do it.

分娩大约两周后，布里奇特·玛丽亚·切斯特顿蜷缩在浴室地板上，说着一些语无伦次的话。后来，在急诊室里，她不停地重复着：“到底发生了什么？”她已经失去了与现实的联系。
家人最终得知切斯特顿患有产后精神病，这是一种严重的精神疾病，因林赛·克兰西一案而备受关注。克兰西是一名马萨诸塞州女子，因勒死自己的三个孩子而受审。一个关键问题是，产后精神病是否是克兰西作案的直接原因。
