First, I should say that I have not experienced ECT nor would I try it in its current form. Although resistance to its use is often amped by shocking depictions in popular culture, there is also a battery of anecdotal evidence suggesting that electrical jolts to the brain in fact cause damage. I had a fit when I first read about induced seizures, but after conducting some research I switched my opinion. Attenuating my beliefs somewhat transformed my capacitance for holding alternating points of view. ECT as a topic clearly carries a charge for some of us, and we need to insulate our feelings while grounding these lines of discussion in fact. Shock therapy can generate controversy, as we’ve seen.
