Before the trial of Lindsay Clancy, everyone thought postpartum depression was a myth. But now society as a whole understands that the sudden drop in hormones after a woman has a baby really can cause intense sadness, anxiety, and disastrous historical events.
Take a look at these historical moments experts now believe are linked to PPD:
The failed Cracker Barrel rebrand: The minimalist design was clearly a cry for help.
Jazzercise: A mentally healthy woman would never invent such a thing.
The 19th amendment: The suffragettes didn't really care about the vote, but they were very emotional, and that was as good a reason to fight for the vote as any.
Cruella de Vil stealing those puppies: And to think, she had a baby waiting on her at home the whole time while she was chasing down Dalmatians.
The eruption of Krakatoa: No explanation needed.
The invasion of Poland: Many people don't realize Adolf Hitler was chided into invading Poland by a woman with postpartum depression.
The Great Throwing of the Casserole of Two Weeks Ago: Steve never saw it coming.
The live-action remake of Moana: Horrifying.
The sinking of the Titanic: Don't ask how, but it's true.
The Jinan Incident: Just look it up.
And this list is just the beginning. There are more. Many more. What else could be added to this list? Add your suggestions in the comments.
