THE death of a woman who took her own life hours after a psychiatrist said she was not a danger to herself could have been avoided, her inquest has been told.

An expert witness at the inquest of 33-year-old Orlaith Quinn said the mother of three should have been diagnosed with postpartum psychosis, which she described as “a very treatable illness”.
