"Duck Dynasty" stars weighed in on a recent court case that captivated America.

During an episode of their podcast, " Unashamed with the Robertson Family ," Jase Robertson, Al Robertson and Zach Dasher discussed the Lindsay Clancy case and how it has sparked what they called a "bigger conversation" surrounding "mental health in America." "I would love to see that conversation emerge because I do think that we have pathologized, and by pathologized, I mean we've turned a lot of spiritual issues into diseases," Dasher said.

"We call them like pathologies." Dasher argued that psychiatric conditions cannot always be measured through laboratory tests, noting, "you can't measure depression with a microscope," and saying that "they don't even know how these antidepressants" and "antipsychotics" work. ‘DUCK DYNASTY' STAR REFUSES TO LET CHILDREN WATCH 'DEBAUCHEROUS' SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOWS Dasher said there is "a biblical answer here" and that a "big discussion" needs to be had.

Clancy recently went on trial on three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months old.

She admitted that she strangled the children before attempting suicide, including by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the sternum down.

During her trial, which ended in a mistrial after jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict, the defense argued that she should be found not guilty by reason of insanity because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed the children.

Her lawyers also argued that she had been overmedicated while seeking psychiatric treatment.

"I think Granny had a real issue, a lithium deficiency when she was treated with lithium.

All of her psychosis subsided," Dasher said, referring to the mother of late family patriarch Phil Robertson.

Anyone that does that is obviously in a very sick spiritual state," Dasher said.

"There's something going on here that we can't just turn everything into a pathology.
