Re: Minnesota man fights forced electroconvulsive therapy

[Guest guest]

Don't seizures damage the brain?

When does 'treatment' turn into damage?

[Guest guest]

" Marilyn assumed the ECT would stop after three or four sessions,

especially since her son seemed to get better rather quickly. But

after 12 sessions, the court authorized more treatments to be

administered as often as every week for up to a year.

That seemed excessive, Marilyn said, given her son's complaints that

the ECT was causing memory loss. "

Isn't this the way it usually goes? ie. no long term benefit?
