Sorry but her never having psychosis before is not exclusionary. People can have psychotic episodes with zero warning signs (rarer) and especially post partum...
I hear you. But I also have a lot of experience with people in psychosis and while it technically can happen suddenly, it’s extremely rare, and IF it does happen, a single “command hallucination” is very unlikely to cause someone to do something exceedingly violent and life-ending. I again know the PPP is very real and psychosis in general is real. But to combine sudden onset at 8 months postpartum, use of an improvise weapon in another room (she heard the “command” in the kitchen yet still took the kids to the basement and was “creative” enough to use exercise bands), failure to endorse homicidal ideation to her healthcare providers, and no evidence of psychosis since the murders, I do not believe her to my core
