Dangers of Postpartum Psychosis
RoseMeade takes a look at the characteristics of parents with postpartum psychosis. We study parents that have reached the point of taking the life of their own children. The Andrea Yates case is reflected upon in order to cover some of the early warning signs. We look deeper into the phenomena and help others do the same so that the lives of young children can possibly be saved by earlier detection of the mental state of the parent.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose/Anneliese Michel: Demonic Possession or Psychosis
I have not seen the movie the Exorcism of Emily Rose, nor do I intend to see it until it comes on television. I watched The Exorcist when it was on TV. I had already read the condensed version of the book in Cosmopolitan. When these movies are on TV, it is free. I chose not to waste money on sensationalistic fiction. When I see “based on a true story,” my conclusion is that the story is greatly exaggerated for the purpose of making money by adding thrills that have no basis in reality. This was in the early 1980s. I had read Father John J. Nicola’s “Diabolical Possession and Exorcism.” I had yet read Malachi Martin’s “Hostage to the Devil.” (I will admit that one of my favorite authors is Stephen King. The scariest book I have read is his “It.” Scariest movie, “The Night of the Living Dead.” I know these are fiction, but, oh, the thrills!) When I was younger, I did not believe in demons or devils or possession. Now, after much research, I am not so sure…. I had read, years ago, when I was in college to earn my undergraduate degree, that there were cases of mentally ill people in institutions who, when a priest walked by, exhibited signs of possession. In my youth, I put this to mental illness. Possession, a form of mental illness or another reality?
