Electric Shock Therapy??
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a medical procedure that involves passing a mild electrical current through the brain to induce a brief, controlled seizure. My guest, David Woods Bartley, is already into his 32nd treatment within the past year for his suicidal ideations.
This treatment is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient feels no pain. ECT is primarily used to treat severe mental health conditions such as major Depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, especially when other treatments have failed. The procedure typically lasts about 5-10 minutes, and patients often undergo multiple sessions over several weeks. Despite its portrayal in media, modern ECT is safe, effective, and conducted in a highly controlled environment, offering hope and relief to many individuals struggling with debilitating mental health issues.
