A personal reaction to the trivialized portrayal of Electoconvulsive Therapy (ECT) medium.com/@CimCity/sho... #LifeAfterECT #Electroconvulsivetherapy #Mentalhealth

Significant controversy surrounds the use of ECT and its associated risks, and there have been calls for it to be banned altogether. Its use has dramatically declined in many countries, and in Luxembourg and Slovenia, for example, it is not made available. . . . International human rights standards clarify that ECT without consent violates the right to physical and mental integrity and may constitute torture and ill-treatment. People being offered ECT should also be made aware of all its risks and potential short- and long-term harmful effects, such as memory loss and brain damage. ECT is not recommended for children, and this should be prohibited through legislation.

A joint report from the United Nations and the World Health Organization calls for an end to coercive legislation. www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/ps... #ECT #LifeAfterECT #electroconvulsivetherapy

No Psychiatrist Needs to Use ECT It can have severe and very long-lasting effects on the memory, and there is a substantial literature on its side effects.

Modern psychiatrists are taught that all mental disorder is biological in nature. As a result, they aren't taught psychotherapy, and when they get a complicated patient, they don't know what to do. www.madinamerica.com/2017/06/no-p... #AuditECT #LifeAfterECT
