inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

About ect.org:

Welcome to ect.org. Even though I sometimes take a lighthearted approach to the issue of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), I consider it a serious issue, often shrouded in misinformation.

You will find information that is pro and con to the topic of ECT. I leave it to you to weed through the materials and choose for yourself. I hope that you find this information useful, and if you are considering ECT, you will have made an informed choice. As an ECT survivor, I wish you the best, and a full recovery from the beast known as mental illness.

What's New at ect.org!

If you're bookmarking this page to find out what's new, please don't miss the index page. I've added a small section called Quick Hits where I can get timely information up with links to full stories. I've been getting quite a few media requests, as well as all of the recent forced ECT stories that have developed, and that's where you'll get "quick hits" that I consider in need of immediate attention.

Everything new at ect.org - includes an archive of old new stuff, plus all the newest of the new! Now with dates of when I added each item.
