Electro-Convulsive "Therapy" -  ECT -  Shock Treatment 

The document listed on the LINK BELOW has been written to help educate the reader about Electro-convulsive shock therapy (ECT).  I have special research interest and expertise in this field of study, and I have provided written testimony to the United States Federal Drug Administration (FDA) on this specific topic, whereby, the FDA upheld and supported the request to keep the stringent class III classification rating upon the ECT devices.  I have also submitted research to the Australian government when requesting information regarding ECT effectiveness and safety; whereby, the government banned shock therapy for children and young teens.  


As Clinical Director of an outpatient mental health center in the United States, as a former Federal Social Security Mental Health Disability Examiner, the past Chief Supervising Psychologist for the State of Wisconsin-USA, Department of Corrections-KMCI, and the past International Executive Director for the International Society for Ethical Psychology and Psychiatry (ISEPP, formerly ICSPP), have been able to witness the long term damaging effects of ECT.  This is not to state I have not spoken with people who have reported great benefits to using such intervention; however, as a scientist and researcher, I am outlining what is often not known by most doctors, practitioners, and patients regarding the peer-reviewed evidence and research about the actual overall effects of using such intervention.
