yes, it's still used as a therapy. I don't really understand it, but it does work for some people. On the other hand, it can turn out very badly.

[psychetruth]

"work" is kind of a relative thing. The supposed "therapeutic effects" of ECT don't last very long. That's why people that receive it are often given follow treatments called "maintenance shocks".

I've met more than two dozen people that have had ECT and only 1 of them claimed it really benefited him. The mass majority of the people I've talked too said it was the worst thing they ever experienced.

Everyone describes memory loss; sometimes so bad you can't remember who your child is.

It is done here in Austin as well as elsewhere and is one of the essential tools of the New World Order unless we raise our voices effectively against it.

@12Zwolf, i agree it's mental abuse and torture. I had ECT at the age of 14 to 15 yrs of age. It was horiffic, dreadful. Wrongly diagnosed too, with schizophrenia, when infact i've temperol lobe epilepsy. Psychiatry can be dangerous in most situations. A friend of mine, her other friend had ECT, she's cabbaged now, like a vegetable. It causes serious injury, it wasn't prescribed for any mental illness, or depression. It was used for something that really had nothing to do with the mental health.

Chemical treatments which may help a person already hurt? 1. Excitotoxicity. Avoid hidden sources of MSG in food - Dr. Blaylock Truth in Labeling - and Aspertame; supplement with Magnesium citrate or glycinate 2. Oxidation. Vitamine E and C both. 3. Brain Repair. Arginine Pyroglutamate "Used to treat senility, mental retardation and alcoholism." L-Arginine and Lysine promote Growth Hormone. Arginine key to repair tissue & bone. See also, Phosphatidyl Serine, & Citicholine.

Thank You For Posting; Perhaps the ElectoShock Nazis like the wiping out of childhood memories, to enable getting away with paedophilia. If the victim can't remember the abuse, then that victim can't testify against the abuser. 'Depression' experienced by the victim, and used as an excuse by the psychiatric community to abuse/torture, is caused by abuse the victim suffered during childhood. GroundHog Day abuse cycle.

Cheers!
