Saw a piece on TV the other night whre a psychiatrist was saying that ECT gave the best result against Major depression and, according to him, it should be used first, before messing around with meds. He tells his students that if he ever has major depression, that's what he wants. It may be true, but there is an abuse stigma on ECT that people nowadays still have trouble with.
> I didn't see the movie, don't know about the injection, but I do have a short comment on the "outdated" use of ect. Maybe I misunderstood you, but it seems you are not aware that ECT is used today everyday still...University of Chicago
> Hospital is one place I know it is still being used. Just a little info. I am not a supporter of the use of ECT...if you were wondering.
