Yes, Christine. And adequate care is so expensive. Unfortunately, I know. I know I’m not receiving great care because I can’t afford it. I’m not saying I’m not as sick as this woman apparently is, but the point still stands
why is every mother and father in America in need of mental care??? Check your blood and brains before all your children are dead...are you even suitable to be parents? Is it something in your water???
When it comes to Andrea Yates her doctor told her and her husband after she had her 3rd child that she should NOT HAVE ANY MORE CHILDREN !!!! But her husband said “we will have as many children as gods gives us “!so he refused to listen to the dr after she KILLED her 5 kids they were thinking to charge him also
Yep! I'm thankful my mom was able to check back into the hospital after I was born. I'm not aware of what exactly happened, just that she realized she was having distressing unwanted thoughts and knew something was wrong
my cousin has schizophenria, he had psychosis, was running in an orchard in his underwear with a gun, he thought someone was after him, the cops came and shot him in the arm because he would not drop the gun, he lived, but had to have PT therapy on his arm for 4 months, Mental illness is under treated in this country
@@matthewuhl9032 the medication makes them feel worse often times, mine made me want to jump off a bridge, that's why. furthermore, the "looney bin" is a fancy word for hosipital.

@@matthewuhl9032 Calling it "the looney bin" is part of the problem. Some people do need residential care. But Reagan made sure to destroy that. BTW, would you call a care home for paralyzed stroke patients "the vegetable ward?" Stigmatizing mental illness is a major part of the problem.

@@matthewuhl9032 I was going to make a similar comment that it's very hard to force someone to seek help and/or take their meds. Stigmatizing mental health issues or labeling ppl as "belonging in the looney bin" is part of the problem of why many folks refuse to get help or be honest about their mental health ... I know friends with lifelong schizophrenia, they take their meds and treat it very seriously, and use their "sick days" from work when they feel an episode coming on and need extra support before returning to their regular routine... also have family members that it took us going to the police and the courts to try and force her into an institution but couldn't get more than a 48 hour hold - long enough to get a diagnosis and a list of medications she'd need, but that she'd never actually take, and she was free to go back to the streets
Okay, child murderer sympathizer. She planned and murdered all five children - even chased around two of them after they saw their dead siblings, until she caught them to kill them. People like you and that liked your comment ste just as dangerous and have no business around children and voting.
Nothing was mentioned about the father? Where are the mothers support people, mother, sisters, aunts, husbands family, husband, church ladies, friends?
Unfortunately that’s how postpartum psychosis works. There’s been many cases like this before that they “planned” but were in a extended episode for months
The question is why did it get to this ? There obviously were signs and she needed to be hospitalised or at least have medical support and kept away from her kids to recover. This happens way too often because family don’t understand pp depression/psychosis
Sometimes women have too many children close together. Your body takes two years to recover from a pregnancy and delivery. Doctors and nurses should do follow up visits with their patients after delivery.
Which is exacerbated by these religious communities that stress being "fruitful and multiplying", with the health of the mother being secondary to her continuing to produce children.
@@thesauceman8457 it's not normal. It's a horrific condition. Nobody is saying to normalize it. These women need help before this happens.

The father should be charged in this case. This was a known issue. They let it happen. When she comes out of this her world is going to fall apart. Andrea Yates life fell apart. Shes free to leave yet she says she should be locked up for life so she stays by choice. Heartbreaking case. She looks like a loving mother.
Plus I could only imagine the quality of life she would have on the outside. She would have to change her identity. Even then if she's recognized and ppl aren't empathetic toward her, her life is going to be extremely miserable. Besides the guilt, I think I would choose to stay as well smh
What do you mean by "family should stick together" many people have no family to "stick" with. Pressuring people to stay in unhappy marriages will not help this situation. This has happened many times in homes with both parents. Many times husbands refuse mental care for their wife/partner. Many times such as this the father knows it's unsafe and still leaves the children. We need better mental health care. We need better follow up care. And clearly we need to educate people on post-partum psychosis.
The guy blabbing about Andrea yates did ZERO research. Her doctor did tell the family. Her husband was a religious nut and forced her to keep birthing babies and he also deprived her of mental health care. He and his family were 100% responsible for placing those babies in harm's way. Shame on the guest for zero effort given to his "insights."
Just because she knew right from wrong does not mean that she doesn’t feel that what she did was the right thing . In her delusion, she thought she was doing the right thing to save her children . Very heartbreaking
Andrea Yates I feel so sorry for her and her children. Her husband should have been charged. He caused this to happen. Andrea has been free to leave the mental facility yet she refuses to. She blames herself for what happened and says she should be locked up forever. She could walk on out but refuses.
This poor man could not have imagined that his wife, a stay at home wife with one job, wouldn't brutally drowned his children. He kept living life as a family man. She allowed him to knock her up over and over. He was probably busy working to provide for all the babies she kept allowing him to put in her.
@@pummy44 Her doctor told him this would happen if he left her alone with the children and kept knocking her up! Her husband was a religious nut who forbid her from accessing mental healthcare and taking medication despite his wife's pleas for help.
Yes psychosis is more severe form in postpartum .I had prepartum with my last pregnancy and so my doctor put me on antidepressants in the last trimester to prevent postpartum.
I really feel like they traded her in for one because I don't recall her being so robotic and bringing up these robot like line of questions. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking at AI lol. Honestly tho something is amiss but I'll stop there...
The video woman asking "Is this a sign that something is off for a woman wondering around in the early morning hours not wearing clothes" Ummmm no ma'am completely normal. WTH
Monster. Needs to be kicked locked up forever. That baby was defenseless and relied on her. I don’t care what the mom’s condition was. Look at her arrest pics versus her social media pics. Very different. Is this really a mental issue?
I had a relative who had Post Partum and knew that she should never be alone with her babies!!! She eventually became stable and was fine but for almost 4 years and 3 kids, she was never alone with the kids that I am aware.
Andrea Yates was abused by her husband who literally forced her to keep having children. It’s difficult to know when the postpartum depression started and nobody tried to help her in anyway! My heart broke for her because you could see how confused she was when she was interviewed post the murders! Religion played a massive role in Andrea’s life (fed by her husband) and she thought she was saving their souls.
@@Angel0fTruth At the end of the day, the last face those five kids saw as they were taking in water was Andrea's face. But hey, blaming it on someone else is always easier lmao.
They always give certain people the benefit of the doubt and claim Post-partum Depression, yet they're plenty coherent before and after the crime. Hm...
And they never target a healthy able bodied man, only children. Purposeful. If these women don't know what they are doing, we could assume that the attacks would be more random and not solely on children....🤷♂️
Buyers remorse. A lot of women realize the gravity of what they’ve done only after they’ve created the life. The crushing guilt + anxiety overwhelms them for the suffering Their children will now endure. They need help, therapy and (self)forgiveness. It’s not talked about enough.
I'm sure the male wouldn't have the same hormonal changes after childbirth as a woman does, so it wouldn't happen! A friend had it and she was seeing spiders crawling across the ceiling and had thoughts that the baby was going to kill her, it's not the same for the father
@@VeeBee-ht8nuthe baby was 9 MONTHS OLD! This is NOT postpartum depression, psychosis. This woman has serious mental issues and should of never been alone with the child.
Post pardom psychosis is the definition of not guilty by reason of mental deficit. We need to start holding the people who could of prevented this from happening responsible.
Being a mom isn’t easy. I’d say it’s a little harder than being a father. Most women change completely after having a baby. They start to look at life from 1000 angles and 1000 different points of views. It’s next to impossible to get a woman to settle down after having a child. Their minds are running at 100mph. Postpartum depression is tough.
I have depression but didn't get post pardon depression. I think its very sad & if the mom is in a psychosis should she really be held responsible for something she has no control over?
You never, ever took even one step in this woman's shoes. Yet, hiding behind a screen, you're so quick to assume and blame... With all due respect, your arrogant ignorance - and judgemental, self-righteous attitude is downright nauseating.
You never took even one single step in this woman's shoes - yet, while hiding behind a screen, you assume and blame... With all due respect, your arrogant ignorance - and apparent judgemental, self-righteous attitude is downright nauseating.
She didn’t have any clothes on and was walking around… i dont think she wanted to do this… people need to be more educated about postpartum depression/psychosis…. Imo this woman went crazy and will regret her actions for the rest of her life
While I do not have sympathy for mothers/parents killing their own children but mental illness is overlooked by many. Postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis is very real. I think mental illnesses should be given more attentions because it is a serious conditions. People do horrible things when they are not in the right mind and get punished according yet the society failed to give help and support.
Family member of mine started off same as Andrea Yates - had some mental issues during pregnancy/post partum and was warned by Drs NOT to have anymore children and/or go on medication... she ignore both reccomendations and went on to have more kids... the mental disturbances continued and started to grow throughout motherhood: became agoraphobic, bipolar, very abusic, and eventually spiralled into full schizophrenia. **Take Your Mental Health Seriously Folks! And ask for help whether its you or someone you know suffering.... our story had no tragic deaths but is not a happy story and no positive ending for those involved
Enough of the excuses. People don't want to take the responsibility of taking care of their child. You used to never hear about this type of thing years ago. People didn't kill their kids, so what's changed? This and the I forgot my child in the hot car is the biggest excuse to commit murder that there is. What better way to get away with murder than to play the I'm crazy game?
Lol what, yes this did happen a lot in the past, there is no significant increase in infanticide. The difference though is we’ve lost the village we had in the past, where a grandmother could take the child when the mum displayed post partum psychosis
@@2009hdj It didn't happen like it does today. I never heard of people forgetting about their kids in a hot car or hearing about someone killing their kid EVERYDAY like you do now. It's an excuse to get rid of their responsibility.
@@enaid54 statistics? Or just your impression? Because it being reported more due to globalisation and the virality of true crime clips does not equal it occurring more. A study released by peer reviewed journal forensic sciences international and backed by brown university did a 32 year retrospective on filicide and found, “Over time, the total number of cases in the country has remained relatively stable at around 500 a year”
many many of them do and are great parents. I know a woman with schizophrenia personally that's a much better mother than my mother was with anxiety and depression. Maybe people with anxiety and depression should stop having kids too.
people with personality disorders also shoudln't have kids. My narcissitic father caused me so many issues. People with depression are the most likely to unalive their children. They should also stop. Maybe everyone with any mental health issue should stop. that would mean 1/4 americans lol
I for one do understand psychosis however, she is still guilty and deserves no lighter sentence. Also, who knew these signs and didn't do anything? Wow.
You have no understanding of a village. The old ways of villages actually consisted of family and people known over many years generations. Unless in 3rd world nations and such, a westerner has no concept of this. The villager knows the people helping. You do not.
The baby is 9 months old so statistically it's out of range for PPP. there is something else going on with her. Whatever it is; she should never be allowed around minors
We were always told to be aware of symptoms for PPD and PPP up to a year after birth. Also she could well have been experiencing some symptoms in the months prior so the baby being 9 months isn't that unusual for the potential diagnosis discussed in the video.
Plz STOP play Background siren noises in videos. .. it's rude is disturbing it causes panic and worry. I have to turn the volume down to see if it's in my neighborhood it causes psychosis and dread.. the list goes on and on of how rude it is! So stop it
When my oldest was an infant I had terrifying thoughts that I could hurt him. (I could throw him down these stairs or put him in this oven.)I wouldn’t bathe him unless my husband was close by (this was a yr or two after Andrea Yates. She was all over the news) Somewhere in the back of my brain I knew I wouldn’t but the thoughts continued. I was so afraid to tell anyone thinking they would take my baby. I suffered through it. Thankfully, I never acted on those VERY strong real thoughts. Around the same time I saw a 20/20 on women who dealt with the same thing and I realized I wasn’t an absolute monster. I will always warn the women in my life about the possibilities and be an available support for them. It breaks my heart to see these sick women viewed as evil monsters. They’re very sick!
I had postpartum psychos with my 3rd child I didn't kill any of my children and do not have bipolar, I actually do not take any meds except a prn anxiety.. my kids are all grown almost now
It’s more than “leave her alone with her child” because safety plans have since been done away with due to continued infant deaths; they don’t work. Unfortunately the child should’ve been placed in CPS custody and mother should’ve been on antipsychotic injections and supervised visitation. Further, just as physicians need to “have a conversation” about women with a history of mania and or psychosis and childbearing, we need to have a larger conversation about men 40+ years at the time of conception, as it correlates to a higher risk of offspring with autism and schizophrenia.
If she had already tried to unalive the baby, why would anyone let her be around the baby? What was going on in the home?
Lack of suspicion.
Because people don't care. Just like Andrea Yates. She begged her husband for help and he ignored her and kept knocking her up.
@@notsorry3631Yep! I remember that & I remember being super angry. Her husband was so selfish.
@@notsorry3631lol women not taking agency for their own actions 😂 🤡
"Unalive?" What's that? Isn't "kill" an acceptable word anymore? I'm old and never heard of this.
Mr Yates ignored every warning her doctors gave him. She was NOT supposed to be alone with the kids.
Exactly
You mean she should NEVER have had any children.
Or have more than three😮

Just because she knew right from wrong does not mean that she doesn’t feel that what she did was the right thing . In her delusion, she thought she was doing the right thing to save her children . Very heartbreaking
Andrea Yates I feel so sorry for her and her children. Her husband should have been charged. He caused this to happen. Andrea has been free to leave the mental facility yet she refuses to. She blames herself for what happened and says she should be locked up forever. She could walk on out but refuses.
This poor man could not have imagined that his wife, a stay at home wife with one job, wouldn't brutally drowned his children. He kept living life as a family man. She allowed him to knock her up over and over. He was probably busy working to provide for all the babies she kept allowing him to put in her.
@@pummy44 Her doctor told him this would happen if he left her alone with the children and kept knocking her up! Her husband was a religious nut who forbid her from accessing mental healthcare and taking medication despite his wife's pleas for help.
So tired of the deaths of vulnerable infants and children excused by mental illness.
I had postpartum depression and I never once thought of killing my baby. This is something else.
Yes, it's probably postpartum psychosis
Yes psychosis is more severe form in postpartum .I had prepartum with my last pregnancy and so my doctor put me on antidepressants in the last trimester to prevent postpartum.
Are we talking about this case or Andrea Yates???
They record the "reporter" asking the questions separately from the guest answering them. It's irritatingly obvious. Ugh.
This is just sad. She should have gotten help
Andrea Yates killed her children, went to prison. She needs to go to prison too.
Andrea Yates went to a mental institution.
Please pray for this family.
The interviewer reminds me of a robot
I really feel like they traded her in for one because I don't recall her being so robotic and bringing up these robot like line of questions. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking at AI lol. Honestly tho something is amiss but I'll stop there...
Yea she’s terrible
The video woman asking "Is this a sign that something is off for a woman wondering around in the early morning hours not wearing clothes" Ummmm no ma'am completely normal. WTH
Y'all ask some of the dumbest freaking questions
I think so as well.
Y’all?
I've had postpartum with both mine I wanted to protect them not kill them
You had postpartum psychosis? I doubt it.
You had postpartum depression, NOT postpartum psychosis. Educate yourself instead of virtual signaling.
Monster. Needs to be kicked locked up forever. That baby was defenseless and relied on her. I don’t care what the mom’s condition was. Look at her arrest pics versus her social media pics. Very different. Is this really a mental issue?
I had a relative who had Post Partum and knew that she should never be alone with her babies!!! She eventually became stable and was fine but for almost 4 years and 3 kids, she was never alone with the kids that I am aware.
Andrea Yates was abused by her husband who literally forced her to keep having children. It’s difficult to know when the postpartum depression started and nobody tried to help her in anyway! My heart broke for her because you could see how confused she was when she was interviewed post the murders! Religion played a massive role in Andrea’s life (fed by her husband) and she thought she was saving their souls.
Oh please that's no exuse
@suzysmith4254 It's always the fathers fault lol.
She kept allowing him to.
@@allahakbar59lack of support and being abused isn't going to benefit anyone.
@@Angel0fTruth At the end of the day, the last face those five kids saw as they were taking in water was Andrea's face. But hey, blaming it on someone else is always easier lmao.
post partum doesnt stop women from having more kids, stop letting them use it as an excuse to not take care of these babies theyre making
Put her in jail we ain’t buying whatever she’s selling!
Amen
They always give certain people the benefit of the doubt and claim Post-partum Depression, yet they're plenty coherent before and after the crime. Hm...
hate when it's that way
There’s a difference between depression and psychosis, genius
No one in court is given any “benefit of the doubt” (in any meaningful way) because of depression of any kind.
@@EtsySpellcaster-fy3sl correct, different demon!!
And they never target a healthy able bodied man, only children. Purposeful. If these women don't know what they are doing, we could assume that the attacks would be more random and not solely on children....🤷♂️
This makes me sick and angry!!!! I have no sympathy for this woman.
yes!!!
She murdered her child, period!!!
Read about postpartum depression and psychosis and educate yourself. It could happen to you or any woman in your life.
I’m scared of schizophrenic people
@user-fj4zc2sr5z the conditions for any crime could happen to anyone.
Another child dies in the hands of their parents. Wtf is wrong with some parents?
Buyers remorse. A lot of women realize the gravity of what they’ve done only after they’ve created the life.
The crushing guilt + anxiety overwhelms them for the suffering Their children will now endure.
They need help, therapy and (self)forgiveness.
It’s not talked about enough.
But she already was a mom
For those of you making excuses and claiming it's due to mental illness, would you say the same if it was a man who was the perpetrator?
I'm sure the male wouldn't have the same hormonal changes after childbirth as a woman does, so it wouldn't happen! A friend had it and she was seeing spiders crawling across the ceiling and had thoughts that the baby was going to kill her, it's not the same for the father
@@VeeBee-ht8nu sounds like drug-induced visions
@@VeeBee-ht8nuthe baby was 9 MONTHS OLD! This is NOT postpartum depression, psychosis. This woman has serious mental issues and should of never been alone with the child.
She tried once and they let her around her again🤬🤬🤬
Post pardom psychosis is the definition of not guilty by reason of mental deficit. We need to start holding the people who could of prevented this from happening responsible.
Being a mom isn’t easy. I’d say it’s a little harder than being a father. Most women change completely after having a baby. They start to look at life from 1000 angles and 1000 different points of views. It’s next to impossible to get a woman to settle down after having a child. Their minds are running at 100mph. Postpartum depression is tough.
True but my focus was always on my children.
I hate that mom
I have depression but didn't get post pardon depression. I think its very sad & if the mom is in a psychosis should she really be held responsible for something she has no control over?
Every child deserves a parent. Not every parent deserves a child.
I don't think she was evil, it seems she was sick.
You never, ever took even one step in this woman's shoes.
Yet, hiding behind a screen, you're so quick to assume and blame...
With all due respect, your arrogant ignorance - and judgemental, self-righteous attitude is downright nauseating.

She didn’t have any clothes on and was walking around… i dont think she wanted to do this… people need to be more educated about postpartum depression/psychosis…. Imo this woman went crazy and will regret her actions for the rest of her life
@@sugardonut2296 Fact is she did and shouldn't get to use the mental health card, Women and their family need to be educated on it more so
I work in Hickory, NC where this happened. Things are crazy here...
Something is wrong with Sierra Gillespie....
While I do not have sympathy for mothers/parents killing their own children but mental illness is overlooked by many. Postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis is very real. I think mental illnesses should be given more attentions because it is a serious conditions. People do horrible things when they are not in the right mind and get punished according yet the society failed to give help and support.
"Is this a sign that something is off?" ... Hold on, lemme get my PhD and check.
“ is it a major red flag that she tried to kill her baby months ago?” Come on lady..
Was her thyroid removed?
Family member of mine started off same as Andrea Yates - had some mental issues during pregnancy/post partum and was warned by Drs NOT to have anymore children and/or go on medication... she ignore both reccomendations and went on to have more kids... the mental disturbances continued and started to grow throughout motherhood: became agoraphobic, bipolar, very abusic, and eventually spiralled into full schizophrenia. **Take Your Mental Health Seriously Folks! And ask for help whether its you or someone you know suffering.... our story had no tragic deaths but is not a happy story and no positive ending for those involved
9 months doesn't sound like post partum
Mine lasted 3 years.
Andrea Yates husband had orders to not leave her alone with her kids. Her psych ordered that.
A parent under stress is scary…reassure them this too will pass….
There is not enough help and support for mothers with PPD or PPP. It's truly sad.
How many patients did she kill
Stop blaming criminal cases on their *mental health* !×
Hickory???? I'm in WNC & that city is about 25 minutes away!!😮😮😮😮😮
Enough of the excuses. People don't want to take the responsibility of taking care of their child. You used to never hear about this type of thing years ago. People didn't kill their kids, so what's changed? This and the I forgot my child in the hot car is the biggest excuse to commit murder that there is. What better way to get away with murder than to play the I'm crazy game?
Thank you! Taking a life is murder!!!
You are so right
Lol what, yes this did happen a lot in the past, there is no significant increase in infanticide. The difference though is we’ve lost the village we had in the past, where a grandmother could take the child when the mum displayed post partum psychosis
@@2009hdj It didn't happen like it does today. I never heard of people forgetting about their kids in a hot car or hearing about someone killing their kid EVERYDAY like you do now. It's an excuse to get rid of their responsibility.
@@enaid54 statistics? Or just your impression? Because it being reported more due to globalisation and the virality of true crime clips does not equal it occurring more. A study released by peer reviewed journal forensic sciences international and backed by brown university did a 32 year retrospective on filicide and found, “Over time, the total number of cases in the country has remained relatively stable at around 500 a year”
People who have mental health issues like this shouldn't even be able to keep the child
many many of them do and are great parents. I know a woman with schizophrenia personally that's a much better mother than my mother was with anxiety and depression. Maybe people with anxiety and depression should stop having kids too.
They should not be left alone.
people with personality disorders also shoudln't have kids. My narcissitic father caused me so many issues. People with depression are the most likely to unalive their children. They should also stop. Maybe everyone with any mental health issue should stop. that would mean 1/4 americans lol
I for one do understand psychosis however, she is still guilty and deserves no lighter sentence. Also, who knew these signs and didn't do anything? Wow.
It takes a village to raise a child and we need to be more supportive to new parents.
You have no understanding of a village. The old ways of villages actually consisted of family and people known over many years generations.
Unless in 3rd world nations and such, a westerner has no concept of this. The villager knows the people helping. You do not.
The baby is 9 months old so statistically it's out of range for PPP. there is something else going on with her. Whatever it is; she should never be allowed around minors
I was just thinking the same thing. Baby was 9 month already.....
SSRIs? Street drugs? Lack of sleep? Nutritional deficiency also known as postpartum depletion?
@@hiddenhand6973 Murderer?
We were always told to be aware of symptoms for PPD and PPP up to a year after birth. Also she could well have been experiencing some symptoms in the months prior so the baby being 9 months isn't that unusual for the potential diagnosis discussed in the video.
Sad😟
Plz STOP play Background siren noises in videos. .. it's rude is disturbing it causes panic and worry. I have to turn the volume down to see if it's in my neighborhood it causes psychosis and dread.. the list goes on and on of how rude it is! So stop it
I understand being upset by it and agree that it’s unnecessary, but it does not cause psychosis.
When my oldest was an infant I had terrifying thoughts that I could hurt him. (I could throw him down these stairs or put him in this oven.)I wouldn’t bathe him unless my husband was close by (this was a yr or two after Andrea Yates. She was all over the news) Somewhere in the back of my brain I knew I wouldn’t but the thoughts continued. I was so afraid to tell anyone thinking they would take my baby. I suffered through it. Thankfully, I never acted on those VERY strong real thoughts. Around the same time I saw a 20/20 on women who dealt with the same thing and I realized I wasn’t an absolute monster. I will always warn the women in my life about the possibilities and be an available support for them. It breaks my heart to see these sick women viewed as evil monsters. They’re very sick!
The war on kids continues.
How long is post partium depression. ? Baby was 9 months old. That's not post partium is it?
How did her husband not know what a psycho she was?
This condition is real. Family and friends need to be aware of the red flags.
Rip to the little girl 💔💔💔
We'll see what happens.
Notice how many nurses kill their children😢
What happened to crazy ?
lol right?!
No, somebody running around naked raises no suspicions. Get an effing journalism degree. Smh
WHY????? Just why??????????
W h y?
It hurts as a proud father
I had postpartum psychos with my 3rd child I didn't kill any of my children and do not have bipolar, I actually do not take any meds except a prn anxiety.. my kids are all grown almost now
It’s more than “leave her alone with her child” because safety plans have since been done away with due to continued infant deaths; they don’t work. Unfortunately the child should’ve been placed in CPS custody and mother should’ve been on antipsychotic injections and supervised visitation. Further, just as physicians need to “have a conversation” about women with a history of mania and or psychosis and childbearing, we need to have a larger conversation about men 40+ years at the time of conception, as it correlates to a higher risk of offspring with autism and schizophrenia.
It’s always a schizophrenic
