 | | ECT: sham statistics, the myth of convulsive therapy, and the case for consumer misinformation. | | | Patients grew to dread the procedure, and it was commonly employed as a means of punishment and sedation for difficult patients in psychiatric hospitals. | | | Before the discovery of muscle relaxants, ECT was given unmodified. |

| | ECT - Electroshock: Scientific, Ethical, and Political Issues by Peter R. Breggin |
| | Except for psychosurgery, ECT provides the most extreme example in which the psychiatrist denies the damage he is doing to the patient, and then utilizes the effects of that damage to produce less emotionally aware, less autonomous, and more manageable patients. | | | Rifkin [149] noted that the claim is frequently made that ECT is more effective and works more rapidly than drugs in the treatment of depression. | | | [119] L. Johnstone, Is the use of ECT a non-issue for psychologists, in: Clinical Psychology Forum, August 1992, pp. |

| | The idea of ECT is frightening to many people, thanks in part to its depiction in the film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Some may not know that muscle relaxants and anesthesia make it a safe, practically painless procedure. | | | Immediate side effects from ECT are rare except for headaches, muscle ache or soreness, nausea and confusion, usually occurring during the first few hours following the procedure. | | | It is true that many years ago, when psychiatric knowledge was less advanced, ECT was used for a wide range of psychiatric problems, sometimes even to control troublesome patients. |

| | ECT |
| | Notably, the patients now receiving ECT are increasingly more likely to have histories of failing to respond to antidepressant medication, further raising concerns about relapse. | | | The research program at NYSPI on ECT was started in 1979 by Dr. Sackeim, and continues to be recognized internationally for its efforts to improve our understanding of this treatment. | | | This work contradicted the widely held view that the generalized seizure provides the necessary and sufficient conditions for ECT's antidepressant effects by demonstrating that generalized seizures could be reliably elicited that lacked efficacy. |

| | Electroshock Therapy Treatment - ECT and how it works |
| | And according to ECT advocates, it can restore a severely depressed or manic patient to health in half the time it takes medication - - sometimes as little as three weeks to reach a therapeutic level. | | | Anesthetics and muscle relaxants were not used (patients were shackled to the gurney but there were still broken bones and vertebrae) and they were not closely monitored. | | | Only thirty years ago, it was still being used to punish and subdue patients in psychiatric hospitals. |

| | A FEW THOUGHTS ON ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY |
| | ECT advocates say the electricity-induced seizures changes the brain’s chemistry for the better, eliminating suicidal tendencies and improving the patient’s life. | | | Now with demographics driving, the race is on for memory enhancing drugs and ECT is being used to screen for them.Rats are taught to jump before their floor grid is zapped by learning a signal (a light or buzzer etc - this is called conditioned avoidance.) | | | This is known as a breakdown of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and it isn't good for the brain. |

| | All about ECT - Electroconvulsive Therapy |
| | Upon awakening, a patient may experience a brief period of confusion, headache or muscle stiffness, but these symptoms typically ease in a matter of 20 to 60 minutes. | | | Short-term memory loss has always been a concern to patients who receive ECT, but several studies conclude that patients who received unilateral ECT performed better on attention/memory tests than those who received bilateral ECT. | | | A patient who is very intent on suicide, and who would not wait 3 weeks for an antidepressant to work, would be a good candidate for ECT because it works more rapidly. |

| | Authentic Informed Consent for Electroshock |
| | Before application, ECT subjects are typically given anesthetic, tranquilizing and muscle-paralyzing drugs to reduce fear, pain, and the risk (from violent muscle spasms) of fractured bones (particularly of the spine, a common occurrence in the earlier history of ECT before the introduction of muscle paralyzers). | | | Multiple Monitored ECT is one variation which consists of 3 treatments in one session, spaced about 5 minutes apart, with 3 sessions in one week; thus, 9 treatments in one week. | | | Psychiatrists call this technique electroconvulsive therapy or ECT. |

| | Shock Therapy -- Shock Treatment it's not good for the brain |
| | "Although the complaints of patients and anti-ECT doctors are dismissed by ECT advocates, they have been given more credence by mainstream health bodies. | | | Independent consultant psychiatrist David Castle, who put the death ratio at one in 10,000, said Mr Franco received appropriate care and that shock therapy was the right choice of treatment. | | | While this viewpoint is totally opposite of what any shock doctor will tell you, the statistical and anecdotal evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of banning any form of shock treatment or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). |
