Well... what did everybody think of that Discovery Channel Program on ECT? I don't think it did the treatment modality any favors at all. Most of the hour long program was negative, in my view. Peter Breggin was on there every 5 minutes spouting doom and gloom about all forms of treatment that interefere with the brain's mechanisms, with ECT recieving the spotlight here. It seemed that every little positive thing they had to say was than squelched with a mountain of negativity. I think if I'd never done any reading about it, I'd get the impression that ECT was usually a failure, sometimes a disaster, and every once in a long while, a miracle occurs.
I don't know... maybe I just don't want to face the truth?
