She has only been in the United States for a few years, family members said. <br /><br />Her family said Modarresi was depressed and on medication. <br /><br />George Parnham was hired as Modarresi&#39;s attorney. Parnham is best known for defending Andrea Yates, 45, who drowned her five children on June 20, 2001, while she suffered from postpartum depression. <br /><br />Dr. Richard Pesikoff, with the Baylor College of Medicine, said there are three levels of depression -- the third level being most severe -- postpartum depression with psychotic features. <br /><br />&quot;Not only are you severely depressed, but your ability to tell the difference between what&#39;s real and what&#39;s not real is lost. At this point, you hear stories about mothers who kill their children,&quot; Pesikoff said. <br /><br />Pesikoff is not treating Modarresi. <br /><br /></font></div>
