  • NPD?

    I had to stop on ep 2 when she diagnosed Lindsay with narcissistic personality disorder. Are you a doctor? Have you met Lindsay and evaluated her? Didn’t think so.

    The host is clearly not an objective narrator. Love the voice and production but I want facts about the case not opinions.

    I wanted an intelligent consideration of this case, having listened to the entire case. Instead, it’s Trumpian level trash.

  • Enjoyed this allot

    I really enjoyed this podcast and the way it was presented in order and commented on. The podcaster had an opinion but still presented all the information so you could still draw your own conclusion. I thought that her opinion was based on the court proceedings and agree with her.

  • Nope

    If you wanna hear one person‘s opinion, then listen to this otherwise pass on it. It’s very bias against Lindsay.

  • What a load of bull

    This podcast is so heavily biased and all her own opinions. It’s not factual whatsoever. Podcaster thinks she’s a psychiatrist now. If you’re in any way interested in this trial, find a more credible source. This is horrendous.

  • Misleading

    I actually appreciated the podcast. But upon further investigation found that you were completely misleading on Andrea Yates, she was not released and never recommitted crimes against additional children. Your argument was good. You didn’t need to lie.

    The diagnoses and inferences mixed with sloppy handling of the DSM-5 are awful. Shame on this entire production.

    So much misinformation. Many details are excluded because they don't fit the narrative that is being portrayed.

  • Clear and Informative

    Great in this podcast let you hear the testimony from the trial and gather your own opinion. I did not find it biased in its presentation. The host did give the way they looked at the case, but the facts and material presented were actual facts and testimony.

  • Overwhelmingly Biased

    Host is completely one sided. If you’re looking for a podcast on case information and facts, steer clear. The host reviews information based on a completely biased opinion by

    playing court recordings then chiming in with a personal opinion regardless of the information presented in court.

    Would never recommend.

  • This host is toast, yikes

    The host sounds like she just found out what the word “narcissistic” means in an Intro to Psychology class, thinks no one has heard of it, and acts like it’s about to blow our minds, desperate to make this case fit the NPD narrative using the weakest evidence possible. The case itself is interesting, but the podcast pushes a biased, narrow-minded point of view while ignoring all the obvious details that don’t fit that perspective.

  • Absolutely love!

    Sheila is completely transparent about her opinion and credentials (or lack thereof) and is not at all misleading or hiding any facts. She provides a deep dive of this case that is factual and evidence based, unlike a lot of misinformation on social media. I am not yet done with this podcast but will most certainly finish it! I’ve enjoyed listening and appreciate her effort so much. Keep it up! Thank you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Perfect Collapse: Interview with Psychiatrist Dr. K
Q: Can you explain medication cycling and why it's a concern in this case?
Medication cycling is stopping one drug before it has had time to work and starting another; it can reflect a lack of sustained treatment trials, multi-provider involvement, and can create a narrative that nothing works, complicating evaluation and care.
The Perfect Collapse: Interview with Psychiatrist Dr. K
Q: How does postpartum OCD differ from postpartum psychosis, and why is this distinction important in the case you're discussing?
Postpartum OCD centers on distressing intrusive thoughts and compulsions that aim to manage anxiety and are ego-dystonic, while postpartum psychosis involves a break from reality with possible delusions and disorganized thinking; understanding the difference affects diagnosis, treatment setting, and prognosis.
The Perfect Collapse: Interview with Psychiatrist Dr. K
Q: What's the difference between mood disorders and personality disorders, and why does it matter for treatment?
Mood disorders are episodic changes from a person's baseline (like major depression or bipolar disorder), whereas personality disorders are pervasive, lifelong patterns of thinking and behaving; this distinction guides whether medications will help and when psychotherapy or longer-term behavioral strategies are needed.
The Perfect Collapse: Control or Collapse?
Q: Based on everything that you reviewed in this case, were you able to come to a conclusion about diagnosis?
Yes, I did.
The Perfect Collapse: History Precedes Her
Q: How would you suggest procedurally doing this?
The procedural approach would be to continue with the first phase focused on the crime, then, if warranted, proceed to the second phase to evaluate criminal responsibility, ensuring the jury can assess the necessary psychiatric evidence without prejudicing the factual case.
