Andrea Yates: The Case That Shook the Country

Andrea Yates was a nurse, a valedictorian, and a mother of five. She was also in and out of psychiatric hospitals, diagnosed with postpartum psychosis and severe depression. Her doctors warned against more pregnancies. Her husband ignored it. And in 2001, after years of spiraling mental health and barely-there support, Andrea did something that made the world stop cold.

This episode breaks down the path that led there—not just the final hour, but everything that came before it. From a burned-out motorhome to ignored medical advice, from religious pressure to mental collapse, this is the story of a woman who desperately asked for help and never really got it.

It’s not about excusing what she did. It’s about understanding how many people failed her on the way.
