Anna

Life After ECT Founder, Writer & Independent Researcher

Anna is a childhood psychiatric drug and a teenage electroshock survivor. She received 60-90 ECT treatments that caused severe disability at a young age. She founded Life After ECT to ensure those harmed by electroconvulsive therapy have access to resources that will help them understand their injuries and find a path to recovery.

In 2022, she established the nonprofit Life After ECT Inc. to raise awareness, support electrical injury & rehabilitation research, and develop educational resources on the long-term consequences of ECT.
