American Psychiatric Association’s Promotion of Electroshock Vs Facts and Logic
INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Linda Lagemann, a national expert on the damage being done in our society by the “mental health” field.
Electroshock (ECT) is up to 460 volts of electricity shot through the brain to intentionally cause a massive seizure. It has never submitted to clinical trails to prove safety or efficacy and the FDA has not required that it do so. There is no other device that has such a track record of damage and heated controversy that has gotten away with this. Note to FDA: You need to clean up!
Extensive and permanent memory loss, disorientation, confusion, headaches, apathy, lowered IQ, and death are some of the side effects of ECT.
The use of electricity on people came about in 1938, after two psychiatrists observed workers in a slaughterhouse applying electricity to the temples of pigs. The shocks stunned the pigs into being docile and made it easier to slit their throats. That is the fact of how ECT was conceived.
Depending on which decade of psychiatry you look at, the seizure is claimed to drive out “bad brain cells,” drive out mental illness, or, currently, to “reset” or “reboot” the brain. Psychiatrists have promoted different “theories” using language tailored for the people and culture of each time period. That’s marketing, not science.
Despite psychiatry’s claim that ECT prevents suicide, a claim used to justify this damaging experiment, actual studies show a 13 times higher suicide rate after electroshock.
Corruption, fraud, conflicts of interest, and a $5.4 billion electroshock industry in the United States in desperate need of reform.
