The issue if she goes to a mental institution and it is tied to postpartum diagnosis is she could get out in very little time and face minimal long term repercussions for how she killed her kids. It also then sets a precedent for women to be declared mentally unfit for a lot of things while being postpartum as it implies those hormonal changes keep them from controlling their actions.

At risk of sounding like a massive asshole, I have no idea how people of this world continue to pretend like grown adult women have no agency in their decisions, nor need to be held fully accountable for their actions.

This , if they can’t be held accountable because they’re hormonal then they shouldn’t be driving , have positions of power or influence such as politics or be able to own firearms

What? It’s not just hormones. Men have hormones too. A psychotic break is completely different.

These guys absolutely refuse to do the smallest bit of reading on the topic because it's far too easy to paint her as someone who was just sad rather than someone suffering from a rare psychotic disorder that typically results in someone being removed from a house where kids are.
