Patrick Clancy’s Deleted Posts Reveal a Troubling Glimpse Into Lindsay’s Struggles

Patrick Clancy’s since-deleted Reddit account gives an unfiltered view of his then-wife’s spiraling madness and the couple’s struggles in the months leading up to her killing their three children.

The account — which was active from 2017 until last year — paints a picture of killer mom Lindsay Clancy as a woman whose troubles mounted after being prescribed the antidepressant Zoloft when she was anxious about returning to work after having the couple’s third child.

The drug quickly sent her into a manic state, as the former nurse slept only three to four hours a night but didn’t feel tired — and at one point even went 48 hours without sleep — and lost weight at a startling pace.

“I suspect this medication was never needed in the first place (Zoloft was my own idea), but my psychiatrist is saying I’m exhibiting signs of bipolar disorder,” Patrick wrote in a Dec. 7, 2022 post in the “Ask Docs” subreddit he prefaced with “posting for my wife.”

Patrick included his email address — the same email that was read in Plymouth court by Timothy Chiappini, a cell phone forensics expert, during testimony — in one of the Reddit posts.
