Annually, psychiatrists kill up to 10,000 people with their use of electroshock—460 volts of electricity sent searing through the brain. Three-quarters of all electroshock victims are women.

Beware!!!!!!! Here is another person like that "phd" person who was frequently posting their nonsense and who obviously has an agenda (and it isn't to help anyone but rather to vent their own biases). This is very inaccurate information-ECT is very safe and often highly effective for treatment resistant depression or specifically the melancholic type. It is not the first line treatment however and often will need to be repeated.

I tried going to your site you posted and it wouldn't go through. Here is a website from American Psychiatric Association on ECT. Try looking at it.
