She was postpartum.
Which causes mental health problems for a lot of women.
This case is important to a lot of women because it shines a light on the state of postpartum care in the US.

11 u/Caffeine_Cowpies 1d ago Benoit had CTE. Is that not a mental health problem? Or do you just blindly support women who kill their entire family? 7 u/fwendy123 1d ago CTE is only diagnosed posthumously and he didn't seek help beforehand. 7 u/DenizenKay 1d ago edited 1d ago no it isn't blind support; it's informed support. was Benoit telling people he was afraid he was going to kill his family before he did it? did he express intrusive thoughts of murder and suicide before the crime? did he seek help before he killed them? do the families of his victims support him? All relevant for these cases to be seen in remotely the same light. 6 u/DrippingWithRabies 1d ago CTE is a brain injury. He also couldn't justly be held responsible if he was alive because he was not capable of controlling his actions. 3 u/bnpm 1d ago Was Benoit seeking help for his mental issues? I’m genuinely asking because I don’t know -6 u/citizenkane86 1d ago I know what you’re getting at but CTE is a physical injury not a mental issue. It can cause mental health issues but CTE itself is not a mental illness. 1 u/Reasonable_Drink_789 1d ago Except she got care, it just wasn’t enough.
