The Dena Schlosser Case
Just when you think the post-partum psychosis cases can’t get any worse, along comes the Dena Schlosser case. This one is so horrific that I predict that it will not be a big media circus. The details are just too repugnant to deal with for long. This woman (glup) severed her infant’s arms while listening to hymns, something she freely and calmly admitted to the 911 operator who called her home.
The religious element is there again. It’s spooking me out. Again, the case is in Texas. We know that Deanna Leaney was influenced by the Andrea Yates case – was this case influenced by those cases?
We know that post-partum psychosis only occurs in 1-2% of all new mothers, but is this horrific violence a new trend, or is it just being reported more widely?
Schlosser had apparently had undergone psychiatric treatment (whatever that means) for post-partum depression and her spouse was worried enough to call about her during the work day. The details are still unclear, but Psychosurgery.org will follow them in this blog and in the newsletter.

As I mentioned in response to your other post, you are quick to feel slighted but not so quick to be considerate of others. I hope one day you actually embrace the gentle teachings of Jesus.
