Let's Get Psyched

#122 - Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)


Listen Later

We (especially Alan) want to make a point with this episode: electroconvulsive therapy is great. And by "great," we mean that ECT, in its current form, is an effective and underutilized treatment for a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, mania, catatonia, and psychosis. Please listen and then share this episode so the word can get out and the stigma against it can stop.

Hosts: Eyrn, Toshia, Alan, Joshua
