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.

Antipsychotics were also used to torture people in the Russian Gulags. But that hasn't stopped American psychiatry from embracing these "miracle" therapies.

Patient's do not feel any pain - it's NOT torture - the shock resets brain neurons with the release and new manufacturing the exact neurotransmitters deficient in depression. The fact that your "dreams" do not synch with the treatment is not a basis for therapy. Short-term memory deficits are a side-affect of the treatment. It's better than suicide, and there is no evidence to sugest that any deficits are permanent.

She's also a teenager. I'm sure that has nothing to do with her current situation. I understand it's easier to blame the drugs and the treatment.
