Should ECT be given against a person's will?

Absolutely not! This is a gross violation of fundamental human rights!

I suppose the doctor knows best. So if the doctor says you should have ECT and you refuse, yes, you should be forced. They wouldn't give it if you didn't need it!

I think Ricky Mofsen (Kathleen Garrett's doctor) should be given ECT against his will, and I volunteer to pull the lever.


Do you think ECT should be regulated by the federal government?

Of course it should! I think it's outrageous that nobody keeps any records at a national level.

No, it only adds another level of bureacracy. We don't need more paperwork in Washington.

I didn't know that the government didn't already do this. I am dumbfounded!

Who cares!


Did ECT work for you?

No, it did not work.

It worked briefly, but the depression returned (within 8 weeks)

It worked for awhile, but my depression returned (within 6 months)

Yes! ECT saved my life!


Did ECT result in memory loss for you?

Yes, it wiped out significant periods of my life!!!

Yes, I lost some memory.

I had very little memory loss, mostly around the time of my treatments.

I had no memory loss at all.
