Rebecca Jollotta, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, provided testimony regarding her treatment of Lindsay Clancy at the South Shore perinatal behavioral clinic in 2022. This testimony is part of ongoing legal proceedings related to Clancy’s case.
Here’s what Rebecca Jollotta said
Jollotta’s testimony comes a day after Clancy’s attorney criticized a psychiatrist who provided treatment to the postpartum mother in the months leading up to the January 2023 killings, citing the doctor’s limited experience, the exclusively virtual appointments with Clancy, and the medications prescribed. Clancy contends that these oversights contributed to her actions in killing Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, in the basement of their Duxbury, Massachusetts home.
Clancy, 35, along with her ex-husband and the father of the children, Patrick, has filed separate lawsuits against the doctors and hospitals that treated her, alleging that they “overmedicated” her and failed to properly diagnose her with bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis. This encompassed details regarding the medication Clancy had been prescribed and her visit to the South Shore Hospital emergency room in November.
During their initial meeting, Jollotta recounted Clancy’s history while also utilizing some earlier information that Clancy had shared. Alongside medication, Jollotta suggested therapy, mindfulness practices, and physical activity, which she noted had previously benefited Clancy.
