BONUS-ODE #2: Andrea Yates; A Tragic Case of Post Partum Psychosis (part 2/2)

*Part Two*

**Trigger warning for everyone again: I will be covering child death, mental illness including depression, post partum depression, post partum psychosis, eating disorders, and suicide.**

Join Kendra as she dives into and tells April the tragic ending of the Andrea Yates Case.

If you haven't listened to our last episode, which is part one, please stop and go listen to that first because the background given in it is really important.

We left Andrea just as she had had her 4th baby, in about as many years, and she immediately starts to struggle mentally with postpartum depression, she attempts to get the help she can from everyone around her, and some very much do try to help her, others… not so much.


Rapidly, her mental, physical, and emotional state begins to unravel as postpartum psychosis emerges, and she starts to slips out of OUR reality and into HERS.

Which all leads to an utter horrific tragedy.

What do you get when you combine together: an insomniac, an obsession with true crime, an interest in psychology, a thirst for the answer to the question 'how and why do crimes happen', a hesitant cohost, and two Bluetooth mics? You get a podcast called Nocturnal Distractions. What else?
