I had around 21 sessions, and I feel that I regret it. It’s been roughly 7 years. I am experiencing a loss of learned abilities, short-term memory issues, learning new things can be difficult where I’ll have to keep going over information over and over in order to get it. I feel more blank in general
I'm french and had 5 electrochocs in France. I suffer from horribles and chronic headaches since I had it, and had to learn to manage to life with a feeling of pain that made my cried everydays. I also have the impression I perform worse in academics. I had to abandon my studies for a while because I felt so much pain while studying and trying to memorize I wasn't capable to continue. I have less less ECT than this woman and I empathise. ECT horribles sides effects are real.
Had my notes on this disgusted that they sent my BPM to 173 and a fit lasting a minute on 7 different occasions. I did not consent. I’ve since suffered PTSD and have every intention of suing.
Please do if you're able to. I don't believe it's only 7 percent of people that have adverse effects, more likely the other way round. Only met 2 people who've felt it helped and one of those was talking about a relative rather than himself and the psychiatrist in this clip didn't present the effects accurately either. I've had a cognitive test done recently and it shows evidence mild frontal/subcortical inefficiency. Everyone should be tested before and afterwards. I was 24 at the time and was literally chased down a corridor and manually restrained to be injected totally aware that I likely wouldn't wake up as one psychiatrist uk had refused consent. Recently learnt he withheld consent thinking I was too physically ill to survive. Whether anaesthetic or shocking of the brain I don't know. I was inadequately anaesthetised for at least one session. Hugely traumatising and very traumatic. Was unable to talk about it for very long time. Have witnessed people go white when they talk about it. One lady told me it felt as if they were sticking 2 knives in her head. When I told a gp that I hadn't been properly anaesthetised trying to get help as by then realised I had ptsd from it, she pursed her lips and said they used to give it without anaesthetic. Not good enough. The depression afterwards needed treating chemically though I'd also been given heavy medication too, because if refused to drink horlicks, and none of the medications were appropriate for the conditions I actually had.
I'm sure things will change when most psychiatrists eventually get charged with murder and other horrific crimes against humanity. It will definitely change for the better eventually.
Done 6 sessions and my life is ruined my brain is not the same anymore memory wise nor cognitive functions and caused me migraine like symptoms.... to sue them in Canada success rate is 33% unfortunately. These criminal doctors need to pay the price of this monstrosity
Thank you for this Sue - they tell us this all the time and in the United States as well. My ECT was given to me within a year after my father died, and I don’t say that for sympathy, I say that because it’s Obscene. It’s obscene to induce grand mal seizures into the brain of the 23 old, less than a year after the loss of a parent, not to mention the other related issues that were going on my family. I am grateful because people like us have to tell our stories and you are doing it on such a large platform that it’s very humbling and moving. Thank you again.
I’m still trying to get my brother to turn down the job of anesthesia provider for this. I see it as being ME he’s willing to do it to and that is very severe to me and traumatizing.
@@MileBlas did you have an improvement in your abilities afterwards and did you escape any loss of memory or difficulty doing mental tasks like reading, or learning new information?
Me too my life was ruined by it too. I had memory speech issues.. and lots of other problems. I still struggles with memory issues. I forget easily I can't recollect things.
I’ve never met a psychiatrist who I didn’t consider a monster 😞
This is nothing but purposefully inducing a traumatic brain injury.
So scum

ECT saved my life.. i understand why it may not be for everyone though.
It's important to have your story validated too. In what way did it save your life?
please sign the petition against it. my life was ruined by ect as well.
How was it ruined? I had 10 treatments.
@@MileBlas did you have an improvement in your abilities afterwards and did you escape any loss of memory or difficulty doing mental tasks like reading, or learning new information?
@MileBlas just because your life wasn't ruined by it doesn't mean it hasn't ruined other lives.
Me too my life was ruined by it too. I had memory speech issues.. and lots of other problems. I still struggles with memory issues. I forget easily I can't recollect things.

HAHAHA Sky News... says a lot about believability.... ECT is perfectly safe.
Perfectly safe? It destroy so many lives.
@@jessicasundberg9624 does it? Tell me more. How does it destroy people’s lives?
Because in my experience it’s saved A LOT of lives.
@@rustyspoonzzz Have you tried it?
@@jessicasundberg9624 you can’t seem to answer my question.
So tell me, how does it destroy lives? What are you basing this on?
@@rustyspoonzzz Its not easy to write, especially in english because I have had a stroke because of ECT.
