The American Psychiatric Association continues to ignore these horrific practices but our momentum is building fast. We need to hit that next threshold immediately to force them to look at the damage they cause. Get this link in front of everyone who refuses to stand for this state sanctioned abuse.

The momentum we have built makes it impossible for these organizations to keep ignoring the reality of the harm they cause. The Canadian and American Psychiatric Associations think they can treat this like a footnote but the pressure is finally mounting.

The American Psychiatric Association continues to ignore our demands while they defend this barbaric practice as standard care. I am currently compiling a dossier of patient testimonies to shove in their faces because their silence proves they are terrified of the truth.

ECT is barbaric. How is this still legal in 2017???
Total torture. My aunt was never the same after she got it done. She just stares at the wall now.
My husband lost all his memories of our wedding after the second session. They told us it was normal but it destroyed our life.
They fried my brains at 19 and now i cant hold a job or remember simple things. Never again.
Doctors need to stop using this on people. It caused so much trauma for my family.

Sister received ECT at age 22 and since been unable to work, on assisted living, psyche meds, the rest of her life until she died at the age of early age of 55. ECT does not bring a person back to normal, it just changes one's behavior to pure apathy.
