Andrea Yates: Inside a Mother’s Mind | Postpartum Psychosis & Psychological Breakdown

Описание: Andrea Yates is often remembered through a single, devastating question — but understanding her case requires looking far deeper than the moment everything collapsed.

This full-length psychological documentary examines the mental framework, belief systems, and untreated postpartum psychosis that shaped Andrea Yates’ gradual psychological breakdown. Rather than focusing on shock or sensationalism, this analysis explores how control, responsibility, faith, and mental illness interacted over time — quietly, invisibly, and fatally.

Through a calm, evidence-based approach, this documentary breaks down how severe mental illness can alter belief, distort responsibility, and remove doubt without removing outward function. It also examines the public reaction, the trial, and what this case teaches us about prevention, recognition, and mental health awareness.

This video is intended for viewers interested in true crime psychology, forensic psychology, mental illness education, and long-form documentary storytelling.

⚠️ This documentary discusses mental illness and tragic outcomes in a non-graphic, educational manner.
