@YvonneARoberts @DrEmmaKatz This is the best news. As a survivor of domestic suicide I know how hard my family fought to explain to professionals that 'he did this to her!!' ' she's not depressed' . When you know you're going to die if stay you have no choice but to go. I salute that family's bravery.

@CunliffeSue Schwartz is in the business of selling ECT machines with his partner, Abrams. Their interest in patient safety is clearly illustrated in this recent court report.

Schwartz shows utter ignorance in his article. Marc Jesche world's leading electrical injury specialist says electricity causes brain injury but does not show up on testing. Marc says treat and believe patients https://t.co/awJxprBaeI

World leading ECT specialist demonstrates dangerous ignorance. ECT creates electric fields which are highest and most dangerous in the hippocampus. Schwartz talks about electric currents at the surface. This man should not be giving ECT https://t.co/Ou6vUXowhP

Research on ECT typically relies on the assessments of the psychiatrists who prescribed it. This international survey asks the patients themselves and their relatives instead.

@bell1_cara @SeanGilligan20 @jill_d35 @psychgeist52 @CunliffeSue ECT is often given to people suffering a storm of psych drugs and drug withdrawal on the back of recent life trauma/bereathment under coercive conditions. ECTs harms are denied. It's not depression. It's lack of care and compassion and aggressive, dangerous treatment.

@CunliffeSue @wendyburn @Altostrata @rcpsych @PSSDSimon @benzosarebad @jill_d35 @ReadReadj @DrAdrianJames I wanted to believe @RCPsych was prioritizing human rights. But learning @RCPsych lawyers advised to omit known #ECT risks, I now know why human rights position isn't paid: volunteer = no power to ensure standards met, just token to placate. #AuditECT

I wish I was outside in the sunshine/gardening/baking /sewing or going on a 50 mile bike ride with my husband. But after doing a dog walk and a bit of tidying my ECT TBI has kicked in. So as usual I'm going to bed then I'll struggle through the rest of the day. That's destruction

The FDA states that all patients given ECT must be told there is no data to support the long term safety and effeciency of ECT

@CunliffeSue @Fiddaman @rcpsych @PsychRecovery @PSSDSimon @jill_d35 @ReadReadj I remember telling her about someone who had taken their own life and the next minute she was tweeting about cats, not a mindset I can understand.

The recent @BBCPanorama documentary on antidepressants is compelling watching for any doctor - particularly GPs and @rcgp - who prescribe the most antidepressants. https://t.co/nbrNnju6Wd

It’s easy to explain when psychiatric meds help. It’s what everyone wants. Much harder to explain when they don’t work, even harder when they make things worse. I feel so responsible when it goes wrong

As a medical speciality you just don't value your patients injured by drugs and ECT. Care for one care for all
As a society, we just don't value older people.
