The s of her children was a tragedy but a bigger tragedy was her treatment or lack of it. Prior to the tragic event she was taken off her antipsychotic medicine and told to think positive thoughts and get counseling. Her psychiatrist was probably correct in taking her off the antipsychotic medicine because her correct diagnosis is probably manic depression and not just depression, so she was undiagnosed and untreated. I have not measured her but examination of her pictures reveals a pronounced curvature of the lower leg half-way between the ankle and knee, characteristic of posterior pituitary gland deficiency.
