We were horrified at what they allowed others to do to their daughter. Their daughter is considered a "success story" in medical circles - rescued from the brink of suicide.

From your description this girl is deeply disturbed. Electric shock - done painlessly - is THE MOST EFFECTIVE treatment for depression. The SSRI's of which fluoxetine [trade name Prozac] is the 1st line pharmacologic basis for the treatment of depression/anxiety (also OCD). These drugs are a God-send to so many people. These drugs are nontoxic, and are good for depressed folks because you cannot overdose on them.

I can't imagine in my wildest dreams that electic shock treatment is effective for anything but torture. In fact I thought they had banned this barbaric treatment. BTW, she has lost some memory from it. Yeah ... real effective ... with that and Prozac she's turned into a freak. She was NEVER this off before electric shock and Prozac.
