Nurse Suspected Clancy Was Bipolar, Never Diagnosed Her

The News

A psychiatric nurse practitioner who treated Lindsay Clancy testified she suspected the Massachusetts mother may have been bipolar — but never diagnosed her before Clancy's three children were killed.

Clancy, 36, is on trial for the deaths of her three children at the family's Massachusetts home: five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan.

The testimony came as the trial reached Day 12 on Wednesday.

Timeline

Clancy struggled with her postpartum mental health and was treated by a psychiatric nurse practitioner before the children's deaths.

On Tuesday, that nurse practitioner spent much of the day on the witness stand, according to The Boston Globe.

The nurse suspected Clancy — described in testimony as "manic" — may have been bipolar but never diagnosed her before the children died, the Daily Mail reported.

The trial continued Wednesday, August 12, 2026.

Reactions

Testimony this week has centered on Clancy's postpartum mental health and the care she received, with her treatment history a focus of questioning in court.

What's Next

The trial continues, with further testimony expected as prosecutors and the defense examine Clancy's mental state before the children's deaths.
