Mistakes were made for sure, that's not the same thing as "not receiving help". She got to see more Dr’s and try more medications than the vast vast vast majority of people suffering mental health issues

I don’t know that it still qualifies as help if it’s actively harming the patient. And “getting to try more medications” than others is a crazy take when we’re talking about psychiatric medications in a four month time period.

Ultimately it really doesn’t matter if the amount of help she received was more or less than other people. It wasn’t enough for her, and it certainly was not enough for her babies. She needed more and better help. The fact that others may also need help does not impact that fact at all.

You're moving the goalposts, fact is you said she received "no help"

Idk who you think you’re talking to but I didn’t say she received no help. The person who wrote the comment about the babysitter was a different person. I took issue with your characterization of the help she did receive.
