wow. I remember reading that a pretty large percentage of shock patients are older women--women who are 65+. Why? Apparently 2/3 of shock patients are women anyway, which makes sense--women are overrepresented in mental hospitals and private practice psychiatric services. Also, at 65 the government will take care of it under MediCare. Shock treatment is apparently something some shrinks do on the side to earn easy extra $$$ for, essentially, doing nothing, except zapping patients they're supposed to care for. Its a pretty sick, actually.
