My mother is in her 50s. Her episodes of depression started at the age of 17 years old as did the Electroconvulsive Therapy. Her psychiatrists have never been responsive to questions my father or I might ask, and never interested to hear my father’s observations. Yet they all comment on the excessive number of treatments administered (potentially hundreds). I’m afraid of what damage shock therapy (ECT) has done to my mom over the years. Let’s start holding these people accountable and get some answers!!!!

What help is available?

Does it really work?
