[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 75655"] Shock treatment. There was a time many years ago when I was involved in an abusive relationship. I wasn't allowed to have friends, or leave the house. If someone knocked on the door we had to turn down the TV and pretend we weren't there. If the phone rang he snapped the cord. (easy child was a baby). I had broken bones, nose, foot, ribs. I was not allowed to leave the house. Many other stipulations I had to follow. Over a three year time I was told how awful I was, nobody would ever want me. So many times I was told bad things. If I went with him and he wanted to stop for a drink, I was handcuffed to the car and had to wait inside the car. I was truely convinced I was a bad person. Nobody would ever want to be with me. My Mother finally intervened. I was admitted to the hospital for depression. Ya think?? I was depressed, but I know what caused it. They gave me shock treatment. Worst thing I ever did. They did a series of three. Severe headaches ever since. Loss of memory. Nerve trouble. And then what? I go back to the same situation. All I have to say is the shock treatment did nothing accept cause much unneeded pain. From my experience, my opinion, shock treatment is cruel and painful. No benefit what so ever for depression or any other disorder. My opinion. My experience. [/QUOTE]
