I agree that the new atypical meds prevent relapse of a psychosis in most cases. And, when one occurs, there should be a complete evaluation and treatment as well as therapy and counseling. During the recovery period, anyone would definitely need help in caring for themselves and their children.

I do have to say that in the case of the Texas mother killing her five children, I DO hold her husband and those around her responsible. A psychotic episode does not just begin overnight. There usually is a period of time (the prodrome) that should have been easily distinguished by those around her on a regular basis. I, for one, do not believe she should be in prison.
