I don't know how to share this publicly, but I think it's really important that somehow there is a way to get this information out… yes everyone is talking about the Lindsay Clancy case. People are talking about the medication she was prescribed and the combination of meds which were prescribed and how this poor woman was desperately trying to seek help for her mental health and just wasn't receiving it. I have not seen one single person ask this question… Where was her therapist? Where was her weekly therapist that she saw on an outpatient basis? And why is no one talking about it?
The obvious answer is that she didn't have one. I can't imagine a world in which a psychiatrist prescribes psychotropic medications and does not recommend weekly outpatient therapy. A therapist sees a client once a week and will notice changes in demeanor, affect, recognize signs of decompensation, etc. I think it is so so so important. Could it have saved these children's lives? Honestly, I think perhaps it could have. You need that one person, that bond, that therapeutic trust and relationship. Someone who sees you overtime and notices changes.
I don't have a public platform and I don't feel like posting it on my page would reach many people… Is there anyone here that could create a public service announcement type post about this?! Having a therapist to navigate all of this can really make a difference. I just can't believe I haven't seen anyone bring this subject up in regards to this case. Thoughts anyone?!?!
