Can you tell me how you can prove that it was not the psychiatric drugs Andrea Yates was using?
Question:
Answers:
Exactly where have YOU proven it? Are you a scientist? You claim to have a Masters degree in other posts, where did you go to school? If you can prove that you have a Masters it would go a long way to your credibility but you don't write like someone with that kind of education.

Because she is a complete loony.
If you have proven all of this, then why are you on YouQA.com asking for us to prove it. Mental Illness has been around a lot longer than the drugs prescribed nowadays, but in the stone age people got their brains removed. Maybe she would have benefited more from that.
there is no way to prove it! Alot of what she did can be side effects of alot of psychiatric medicines, hallucinations, voices, mania, sucidal thoughts,etc.
JUST LOOK AT THE NATURE OF THE ACT...She literlly thought if she downed her kids they would be in heave... It was reported that day's before this, she would walk around in circles for hours. She has a long standing history with mental illness.
She should have been institutionalized from the get go. Her husband had to see this coming and did nothing about it.
You are right - that could be true. She might have been pushed over the edge with the drugs - but that probably is not the case.
Andrea had a psychosis problem worse and worse each time she had a child, even before psychiatric drugs were ever presented by her doctors. She would become psychotic every time she went through her post-partum time - this didn't have to do with the drugs - it had to do with her system. She was getting psychotic before she was ever on psychiatric drugs - that is why they sought out a doctor for her problem.
The doctors begged Andrea and her husband NOT to have any more children because of this problem - but they did not listen - they thought it was God's will for her to have more children - and if God gave them more children - then God would take care of the psychosis.
I guess her husband has learned that is not the case. Sadly. No one ever thought she would kill all her children.
