After surviving her suicide attempt and spending 5 years in a psychiatric hospital, Constance was released into her loyal husband's care and she returned home. Not too long after that, Constance and Carl proceeded to have 3 more children, and one day in 1966, a psychosis fueled tragedy struck again. Tune in this week to learn about postpartum depression and psychosis and hear the tragic case of a woman who needed proper mental health help and just couldn't find it.
