    1:00 to 1:20 is very important

    This is essentially the role of a clinical trial.

    @MelLouise234 yes ur right mel and here at least, its seldom used except for when nothing else works….and rarely even then….

    @selfidentity1 you are obviously very misinformed. ECT is still used to this day and for many patients is extremely beneficial. Granted, thanks to the unethical uses during the 1950′s it has become a taboo treatment, and much stigma surrounds it use, but the treatment itself still shows many positive outcomes. It’s today primarily used on those suffering from bipolar and chronic depression. It does not ‘damage the patient’s brain’ and in no way is used to ‘make staff’s jobs easier’.

  11. selfidentity1 says:

    these treatments are only to make the STAFF’s JOB EASIER. they damage the patient’s brain so that he wont be violent and difficult to deal with!!

    @liamh63 stay away from psychiatrists, as far as you can.
