Deleted Reddit posts by Patrick Clancy reveal his growing concern about his wife Lindsay's deteriorating mental health in the months before she killed their three children in January 2023. The posts, made between December 2022 and January 2023, document Patrick's desperation as he sought advice about Lindsay's severe adverse reactions to the antidepressant Zoloft, including manic episodes, extreme insomnia and dangerous thoughts. These archived discussions provide insight into the escalating mental health crisis that preceded the tragedy, raising questions about medication management and warning signs.

In the seven weeks before the deaths on 24 January 2023, Patrick posted about Lindsay's alarming symptoms: severe insomnia lasting days at a time, weight loss of 15 pounds in just two weeks (down to 115 pounds), and in a 9 December post, concerns that she was having thoughts of "hurting others". Patrick described how Lindsay's anxiety had been mild before giving birth to their youngest child, Callan, and suggested that therapy rather than medication might have been more appropriate, noting that she had managed similar episodes after her previous two children's births with support and coping strategies. Lindsay, a former labour and delivery nurse, has not denied killing the three children but contends she was not guilty due to severe postpartum psychosis at the time.
