My psych wanted to do some double blind studies into ECT but was over-ruled by the ethics committee.
When I see a decent double blind study into it I will feel better about it, say ECT against acute hashish intoxication with symptoms controlled by benzos and opiates.
The truth is that depressed people going to have ECT have quite different standards of care applied to them.
I wouldn't so much mind that if they would simply say so, you know....'look, you're f*ck*d mate. Too bad.'Wasn't it developed from processing pigs in slaughterhouses by some Portuguese fascist?
