A few opinions, unfortunately. What's your opinion on the subject of ECT risk? The current medical opinion seems to be mostly unchanged--nonspecialists who are uneasy with it--vs the specialist, who claims that since a single old woman's brain was examined after having undergone hundreds of treatments, and no post-mortem STRUCTURAL damage could be found, then everything is fine. So the only recent change I've noticed is that practitioners have continued along the road to claiming that their new settings make it magic fairy dust and any cognitive or even memory damage just doesn't exist.
Of course, then there's your average patient who's been treated with ECT--definitely unscientific data, but there are a few too many people shouting to stay the hell away from it, it shredded ten years of my life, don't let them put you in that chair, man...for me to ignore. I suppose they could just want attention--but if that's the case, why don't other people with treatment failures behave this way?
