Carol was interviewed along with Dr. Johnny O'Reardon for a segment about the benefits of electroconvulsive therapy, also known as shock therapy. There is a 60%-80% response rate with ECT, and it is not at all the barbaric procedure that is depicted in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" that has caused many people to be afraid of ECT. Carol's mission is to raise awareness, instill hope, and combat the stigma associated with mental illness, and particularly, the use of ECT in cases of clinical depression that does not respond to medication or any other treatment.
