Can popular culture stop demonizing electroconvulsive therapy - ECT - it's an effective treatment for severe mental illness these days not a fucking torture device
Yeh but those criticisms could be applied to most mental health treatments equally, and yet you don't see people being force-fed drugs or CBT with nearly the same frequency

Not sure if you're saying ECT is more commonly given as a pressured/coerced treatment than the others here? CBT being a go to for chronic illness, when diagnosis hasn't been properly worked through yet is becoming a pretty common problem.

Hm? No, I'm saying there are issues at every level of the mental health system so picking ECT out doesn't really make sense except as a throw-back to the 70s
