Let me ask you this: what is even the purpose of ECT? What does it cause in the brain, and how come people figured out that this may be a positive thing?

- cwillu 10mo agoMy “anti-ECT” stance is more that even modern ECT still has permanent side effects, “voluntary” does not have the standard meaning in in-patient psychiatry, and it is not impossible for a patient to have more or less every treatment thrown at their brain rather than contacting that patient's regular psychiatrist to get relevant context.
