[quote=GUEST44710,601351]There is a more natural explanation for this behavior that does not require resorting as our forebears once did to supernatural phenomena. An estimated 1,000 women are afflicted with postpartum psychosis. Women with the diagnosis can suffer dangerous delusions and desires to hurt their children, unlike postpartum depression, which occurs in as many as one in five new mothers. Also in Texas Andrea Yates, suburban Houston mother who drowned her five children in a bathtub in 2001, and Dena Schlosser, who cut off her baby's arms in 2004 both suffered from postpartum psychosis, their attorneys have said. These psychotic women have begun treatment while incarcerated in a state mental institution and will remain there until they are no longer dangerous. [/quote]
