There was recently an article in the New York Times about her and her advocacy for ECT (within the past two weeks). But I have no idea whether ECT is helpful with schizophrenia. When I have been hospitalized on general psych wards (more times than I care to count), the ECT patients were all depressed. People with acute psychotic episodes seemed to be treated only with meds.
Good luck to you and your son!
