Summary
Three children were killed after Lindsay Clancy, who also tried to take her own life, spent months urgently seeking psychiatric help before the attack.
Thirteen medications were prescribed over four months as clinicians tried to treat persistent symptoms and adverse drug reactions that left her still struggling.
Psychiatrists, a suicide hotline and an emergency-room visit all figured in that search for help, but she was turned away from inpatient treatment.
The account sharpens focus on whether gaps in mental-health care and medication management preceded one of the most closely watched family-killing cases in Massachusetts.
