Shock Therapy Makes a Quiet Comeback

When Bill Russell tells people that his severe depression was relieved by shock therapy, the most common response he gets is: "They're still doing that?"

Shock Therapy Makes a Quiet Comeback

I have been hearing more and more about this, I'm not sure how I feel about it any more

My pdoc wanted to try this on me and I said absolutely not. It's really scary I think. Your brain is so important and I heard you lose your memory.

I know that back in the 50's it was very new and lots of bad things happened, but it has come a long way and I don't believe that memory loss occurs any more; but I can't say that for certain. I think that the amount of electricity that is sent through the brain now is very minimal, and that it doesn't damage, but again, I am not at all sure.

Hmmmmmm

When I was in the hospital someone had this done. She looked like a zombie. I felt so bad for her.
