Re: Sunday's peaceful protest against the use of electroshock in Ottawa, Canada

We don't protest on Mother's Day. We do nice things for our mothers,
because we care about families, and we haven't been forced to
disconnect from our mothers. Nice try though.

I hope your mother doesn't receive ECT because you failed to do the
right thing.

It's such a shame that anonymous can spare LOTS of time trying to get
rid of a religion but don't have the time to save people from getting
their brains involuntary fried.

This is what anonymous supports http :// www .youtube,com /watch?v=eXC6b0xy4ts

Such shame :*(

Don't worry about my mom. She's not a psycho like you. She's a nice,
normal human being who likes rainbows and kittens and stopping cults
from frying people's brains with their "tech". Everybody's mother
should be as good-hearted and clever as mine.

ECT is quite helpful and therapeutic for those who need it.
There is nothing to protest.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): Treating severe depression and mental
illness
ECT today is far safer than it was just a few decades ago. Learn who
may benefit from this procedure and understand its pros and cons.

For some people, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) conjures up
frightening images. You may envision painful, violent seizures. Or you
may simply have a generally negative emotional reaction to
electroconvulsive therapy. Indeed, although it's much safer today, the
use of electroconvulsive therapy in treating depression and other
mental illnesses remains controversial, 70 years after it was first
introduced.

In certain cases, though, electroconvulsive therapy may be the best
treatment option, sometimes offering fast and significant benefits. In
severe depression, for instance, the risk of suicide may be high,
requiring treatment that can quickly alleviate symptoms. For some
people, antidepressant medications aren't effective. For still others,
mental illness may have left them in a state of psychosis, and ECT may
be able to help end that episode.

Deciding whether electroconvulsive therapy is a good option for you or
a loved one can be extremely difficult. Should electroconvulsive
therapy be your first treatment choice? Or should it only be a last
resort? Will it cause lasting side effects? It's not a decision to
make lightly. But understanding more about the potential benefits and
risks of electronconvulsive therapy can help in your decision.
Modern-day ECT a far cry from years past

Today, although electroconvulsive therapy isn't risk-free, it's a far
cry from the old methods that helped give electroconvulsive therapy a
bad reputation — a reputation that lingers on. Its use began in the
early 1930s, when researchers injected chemicals in people with mental
illnesses to induce seizures. The chemicals were soon replaced by
electrical currents. The success of electroconvulsive therapy
propelled it into widespread and sometimes indiscriminate use over the
next few decades, before the advent in the 1950s of medications to
treat depression.

In those early years, electroconvulsive therapy could be painful and
downright dangerous. It was administered with neither anesthetics nor
muscle relaxants, and the electrical current was much higher. Powerful
seizures racked the body with a force that could break bones. The
images of doctors and nurses holding people down as they endured
violent seizures were captured in books and films and have become
nearly indelible.

Electroconvulsive therapy is different today, although it still does
pose a risk of side effects and complications, such as memory loss and
confusion. Yet the procedure has become refined, with precisely
calculated electrical currents administered in a controlled medical
setting to achieve the most benefits with the fewest risks.
Who might benefit from ECT?

Electroconvulsive therapy is a procedure in which electrical currents
are passed through the brain to trigger a seizure. Researchers don't
fully understand just how ECT works. But it's thought that the seizure
causes changes in brain chemistry. Given in a series over several
weeks, ECT can help alleviate the symptoms of certain mental
illnesses.

ECT is most commonly recommended for people with:

* Severe depression, accompanied by psychosis, suicidal intent or
refusal to eat
* Mania that hasn't been improved with medications
* Schizophrenia, when symptoms are severe or medications aren't
sufficient

Britt would rather have people commit suicide than be treated and
cured.

But then, she is also in favor of an organization that rapes kids.

As long as she doesn't go Christian or Catholic, she will be fine.

Apparently, the Christ didn't leave his followers with a workable

thinking is that the only way to Heaven is through being victimized.

This from an idiot who is convinced that Anonymous wants to place him
into a gas chamber out of their hatred of his religious belief. This
from an idiot who NEEDS to be victimized for his own psychological
comfort.

Ironic, ain't it?
