E.C.T.

Thousands of people are given ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) every year in Britain.

For a full critique of ECT, we recommend reading -
"ECT: The facts psychiatry declines to mention" by Katy Arscott
in Newnes, C., Holmes. G. and Dunn C. (Eds) (1999) This is Madness: A Critical Look
at Psychiatry and the Future of Mental Health Services. Ross-on-Wye; PCCS Books

The Internet is a good source of information about ECT. We would recommend any search for
information provided by ECT Anonymous (ECT Anonymous are an action group consisting of
people who feel they have been damaged by ECT).

A critical view from Peter Breggin, a renowned American Psychiatrist.
