What is postpartum psychosis, the illness at the centre of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial?

Lindsay Clancy's defence doesn't dispute that she strangled and killed her three children in 2023 while her then-husband was running an errand. But they argue she isn't criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, a rare and little-understood mental health condition that can affect a new mom's sense of reality.
