Electroshock therapy. There has never been any evidence to show it has helped anybody. It’s literally torture. Its only purpose is to cause pain.
She’ll have heart problems for the rest of her life along with psychological trauma, and what does she get? A measly 8 grand. This is considered a good outcome. A landmark case.
Sometimes the indignities we must deal with are too much to bear.

i don’t think this is true, i think there is evidence that it is effective in some cases of extreme depression for what it’s worth. obviously using it as conversion therapy is barbaric but i don’t think it should totally be dismissed as useless
I personally credit it with saving my life, it is effective against extreme depression. But it’s also not something I would recommend to anyone, unless they had it exhausted their other options. Using it for conversion therapy is barbaric. Using it for anyone that is not severely, overwhelmingly depressed, an immediate threat to themselves, and who is had no luck with more traditional treatment despite trying for months, is barbaric.
I’ve heard that transcranial magnetic stimulation can be as or more effective re: depression without as much, brute force, but thankfully it’s been a long time since I had to research this sort of thing.
