Andrea Yates had taken a number of anti-depressant and anti-psychotic
medications since the birth of her fourth child in 1999, the same year
she attempted suicide.

[snip]

Although Mrs. Yates has not said why she drowned her five children, her
husband said he believes her depression played a major role. She wasn't
in the right frame of mind, he said.


I suspect there was a lot more going on with this woman than the supposed
'post-partum depression' she's alleged to have sufferend.

True post-partum depression only lasts a few weeks after the birth of a
child, and doesn't call for the prescribing of anti-psychotic meds.

I suspect the diagnosis of post-partum depression was something the
husband and the rest of the family found acceptable, rather than spending
the time and effort in trying to determine the real cause of this woman's
psychic angst...

I haven't read anywhere that this woman underwent COUNSELING at any
time...only that her doctors continued to throw one psychotropic med
after another at her...


Mr. Yates said medication his wife took after the birth of their fourth
child did not work as well after the birth of their fifth, six months ago.
When her father died, he said, her condition worsened.

Which should have been a red flag that she was suffering from something
more than 'post-partum depression'...but again, it would seem that this
family rather preferred to sweep the real problem under a rug instead of
addressing it head on...

I would like to know who many of you have a degree in
psychology and know this person personly.  Maybe what
her family is saying is the truth.  I am getting tried
of people seeing conspiracies in everything.

Were these medications prescribed by her NASA-employed physician?

Absolutely, and with a lot of other killers whose murders produce political

No degree, just what was taught in my nursing classes and what any
medical person past basic training would recognize as signs a person may
require more than just meds thrown at them as a supposed 'solution' to
their mental and emotional problems...


Maybe what her family is saying is the truth.

I never said they were lying.  What I DID say is that the diagnosis of
'post-partum depression' was a convenient diagnosis for a problem which
seems to have been much more severe and deep-seated than anyone seemed to
care to probe.

Again, true post-partum depression only lasts a few weeks, and is never
treated with anti-psychotic meds...

So it would seem that the doctor(s) who prescribed the meds had to be
aware of a deeper problem, but didn't get this woman any counseling, only
continued to prescribe various psychotropic cocktails...

One wonders what you are doing on a list called CONSPIRACY Theory

Husband says woman changed medications
06/22/2001By Doug Swanson / The Dallas Morning News

Andrea Yates had taken a number of anti-depressant and anti-psychotic 
medications since the birth of her fourth child in 1999, the same year she 
attempted suicide. 

They were commonly prescribed medications that work in different – and often 
not completely understood – ways to alter the brain's chemistry. 

Mrs. Yates' husband, Russell Yates, said Thursday that his wife began taking 
Effexor and Remeron earlier this week. She had previously taken Risperdal, 
Wellbutrin and Haldol, her husband said. 

Although Mrs. Yates has not said why she drowned her five children, her 
husband said he believes her depression played a major role. "She wasn't in 
the right frame of mind," he said. 

Although the medications she took are widely used, they don't work in all 
cases, said Dr. Alan Schatzberg, chairman of the psychiatry department at the 
Stanford University Medical Center. "Unfortunately, not everyone responds to 
what you put them on," he said. 

Risperdal is believed to adjust the imbalance of two brain chemicals, the 
neurotransmitters known as dopamine and serotonin. The chemicals transfer 
information from nerve to nerve in the brain. 

Reducing dopamine activity often leads to a lessening of delusions and 
hallucinations. 

Reducing serotonin activity may help with lack of emotion and feelings of 
being disconnected, said Risperdal's maker, Janssen Pharmaceutica of Belgium. 
The company says it is the most-prescribed anti-psychotic in the United 
States. 

Wellbutrin, Remeron and Effexor are anti-depressants that affect 
neurotransmitters. Remeron, one of the newer anti-depressants, stimulates 
serotonin release while blocking specific serotonin receptors. All three are 
commonly prescribed for depression. 

Haldol, an anti-psychotic manufactured by Ortho-McNeil, is often prescribed 
for schizophrenia and outbursts of aggression and agitation. It also works by 
changing the flow of dopamine. 

Anti-depressants have a number of possible side effects, including dry mouth, 
blurry vision, nausea, muscle problems, loss of libido and tremors. The drugs 
may take several weeks to work. 

There have been some claims that various anti-depressants can produce 
irrational or aberrant behavior, but these have not been accepted by the 
medical community at large. "I think this kind of thing is unfortunately part 
of the illness, not part of the treatment," Dr. Schatzberg said. 

Depression is the most common mental ailment. The National Institute of 
Mental Health says that in any given one-year period, about 9.5 percent of 
U.S. adults suffer from a depressive illness. 

New medicines to treat depression appear every year. Dosages vary, and are 
often adjusted according to a patient's reaction to the drug. What works for 
one person doesn't necessarily work for another, doctors say. 

Mr. Yates said medication his wife took after the birth of their fourth child 
did not work as well after the birth of their fifth, six months ago. When her 
father died, he said, her condition worsened. 

"She was just primed for that depression," he said. "We were all hopeful 
she'd respond to the same medication she did the first time. ... She got to 
maybe 65 percent and sort of stayed there and plateaued."
