- fao_ 9y agoReally? What does "electro-shock therapy" mean to you?
- cstrahan 9y agoEfficacy aside, electroshock therapy is intended to treat a given disorder, not to induce some disorder. Any pain or side effects of being shocked is separate from the underlying disorder. So "Bob was given electroshock therapy for his schizophrenia" means Bob was shocked to treat his schizophrenia, not induce it.
