The Andrea Yates case is one of the most notorious and tragic criminal cases in American history. In June 2001, Yates, a mother of five from Texas, drowned her children in the family bathtub, leading to a national conversation about mental health, postpartum depression, and the legal system's handling of such issues.
Struggling with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia and depression, her actions raised questions about the nature of her condition and its impact on her culpability. The case sparked intense media coverage, public debate, and discussions around maternal mental health, ultimately influencing how society views and supports those facing similar struggles.
