Original: Expert: Mothers killing children is rare, but untreated mental illness is not

The comments come amid renewed public attention to maternal mental health and the failures of care systems to reach women in crisis before tragedy occurs, prompting debate about screening, stigma and access to treatment.
Why now: Renewed attention to a filicide case or maternal mental health failures has prompted discussion about prevention.
