He had his own mother come over on a regular basis to help her out at home with the children.

After the birth of the 4th child Luke, Andrea suffered suicidal tendencies. The couple moved to Houston for a new start.
She was apparently taken off her medication by Eileen Starbranch when it seemed her baby blues were over.

The fifth child Mary was born and the event coincided with the death of Andrea's father which sent her on a complete downward spiral. (Maybe we should also lay some blame at Yates father for dying??)

At this point Starbranch was relieved as Psychiatrist and Devereux doctor Mohammed Saeed was caring for her.
He was so concerned with her, that she stayed in hospital for 10 days.

But was re-admitted 6 weeks later for another period of time.
She was taking anti depressent Hobol at this time also.

Russell Yates said her presciption for Hobol ran out 10 days before the killings.


Seems to me folks that instead of standing by and letting all this happen and being responsible and letting her down and being useless. In all reality, he did quite a bit for this woman.

According to an expert witness, PPD affects 20% of all mothers in the weeks after birth, so it's not uncommon.
What Yates had was Post Partum Psycosis, an ultra rare form of PPD.

So to say Russell Yates knew what his wife was suffering from is an insult to him, because no-one knew at the time. They all thought it was ordinary PPD and at this point how can Russell Yates be blamed in any way shape or form, he isn't a doctor.
