199. The Barbaric Truth About Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

About this episode

Most people think electroshock therapy was abandoned decades ago. The unfortunate truth is it’s still widely used, with well over 100,000 (probably much higher) Americans receiving ECT every year.Yet the devices have never been properly safety tested.
In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with Sarah Price Hancock, a certified rehabilitation counselor, educator, and survivor who underwent 116 ECT treatments. Sarah lost 85–90% of her memories from the first 36 years of her life, developed neurological complications, and later learned her original psychiatric symptoms weren’t even a mental illness.
