In the Lindsay Clancy trial, postpartum psychosis has become the central psychiatric explanation. But what does a severe psychotic break actually look like? Can someone really appear completely normal, then become floridly psychotic, then appear normal again as they are trying to claim? Here I walk through the “fluctuating symptoms” and “masking” argument, and why I think the definition of psychosis is being stretched in a way we would not accept in other cases.

A train ticket gave her “the ick.” The “ick” signals emotional immaturity, an idealized version of the man that's doomed to shatter the moment he stops performing, and also a way of signaling value to other women: "my standards are so high that ordinary male behavior disgusts me." That and more in the recent Psychobabble epsiode!

He sent a voice memo asking about sex on the second date, and it sparked outrage because of what I’d call weaponized consent. But I think part of what made women so uncomfortable was that he forced them to confront the consequences of their own behavior. You can’t spend the first date being suggestive, then act scandalized when a man says out loud that what he wants is sex.
