Stop ignoring the harm you are causing.
As I always say all these Pro ECT psychiatrists who say they would choose to have it. Well have it then then you might actually get a better idea on how it trashes peoples lives like mine and many others I know. I am recovering many do not sadly.
80+ yrs publicly funded #ECT research? Time to standardize, regulate, routinely #auditECT use, routinely provide comp assessments for manufr acknowledged risks & give rehab as indicated. @APAPsychiatric @AAPsychiatry @rcpsychTrainees @ColumbiaPsych @PsychTimes #MedTwitter #ECTAS

Thank you @rcpsych #ECTAS for inviting @CunliffeSue to present on her #ECT experience at your annual meeting. Giving voice to those who raise concerns about #PatientSafety practices will improve practices universally. #AuditECT #MedTwitter @APAPsychiatric @PsychTimes @NIMHgov https://twitter.com/CunliffeSue/status/1417794737239691266
