Electroshock works by causing the euphoria that often comes with brain damage. It is one of the most reckless, destructive things the quackery that is psychiatry has ever 'invented'. A grand mal seizure induced by household electricity into the most complicated arrangement of matter in the known universe, the brain, with trillions of connections, your brain that you can't even prove is diseased, you're just going to have seizures caused? That's utterly reckless. Neurologists know that when people suffer head injuries they often feel a mild euphoria for a while after the injury.
Read Linda Andre's book Doctors of Deception and see how the FDA has never applied modern FDA approval procedures to electroshock machines, and how the manufacturers of these machines and the quacks who collude with them are corrupt as hell...
It's so sad to see people go on the psychiatry brainwashing track, it starts of with pills, it ends with intentionally induced SEIZURES, I am so glad I escaped believing in the absolute fraud that is 'blaming your brain' for life's problems. You poor, poor people, how much danger you wind up placing yourselves in.
You want to wipe your memory and damage your brain, go right ahead. It will never cease to amaze me that people allow themselves to hand over so much power to this false notion that there is something wrong with their brains, that they are willing to let barbarians cause brain damage with electricity. Unbelievable.
Read a neurologist speaking out against this harmful practice here: http://www.oikos.org/ectfried.htm
An actual neurologist, who is a real expert on brains, not some psychiatrist quack who does nothing but slap DSM labels on people and dole out mind numbing drugs and shock people.
I feel so sorry for the people in this sub. It is so sad how trapped you are in this failed pseudo-scientific model.
