A Survey of 1144 ECT Recipients, Family Members and Friends: Does ECT Work? The last placebo-controlled ECT trial for depression occurred in 1985. While awaiting trials that meet today's standards of evidence-based medicine, this paper presents the responses, to an online su...

First paper from our international ECT survey just out.

On all 5 efficacy measures most recipients, and most relatives, reported it either made no difference or made things worse. Some were helped though.

Thanks to all 1,144 who completed the survey.

Do take a look👇🏼 … this book has already been so helpful for people when it’s hard to know what to say, what to do or how to be!

My precious Dexter🖤🤍. Sharing some of his calm, softness & love. He reminds me to go gently. Its ok if the news is too much. If I cant speak out right now. Those who can will. The abuse has taken enough already. We do what we can with what we have at any time. That’s enough!

‘Walk gently in the lives of others. Not all wounds are visible’👇🏼

It’s easier to remember this with people we like & agree with. Or who agree with us. My challenge is trying to remember this with everyone I interact with. And reflecting on how I’m truly practicing my values!

Lovely to see … more of this Gerry! And Merry Christmas to you and your family🎄😊

Happiness is … lying with Dexter watching tv🖤🤍🐾. So #grateful for every year now that I’m not in a psychiatric ward at this time!

Amazing to be a part of this. Being with people sharing hope, pain, creativity, laughter, tears & all working towards transforming our pain into purpose💙. Grateful to be in rooms where I don’t have to explain why it matters #Solidarity #Seen #Action #Equality!

I am not well. I could have built pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling onto life and reason. Franz Kafka. Quote set on an oil painting of a man sitting on a chair with a hat, looking down and out a window. There is a desk and multicoloured rug on the floor

This👇🏼captures how the past swarms leaving you trailing through the treacle of grief despair & what feels like madness. Paranoid, depressed, suicidal they’d have said. Not now. In context it makes sense. Medicalising the ‘symptoms’ of abuse led to more violence #16DaysOfActivism

Read @PPR_Org #NewScript response to the review of the @healthdpt Protect Life 2 Strategy library.nlb.ie/download/74/pd… which amongst other things, fails to target objective need! #Give5 #Community #Connection #Compassion #Choice!

Thanks for sharing. I hope it helped a little. For what it’s worth it all makes total sense to me. Be kind with you and the wee one!

And you Oliver😊

So beautiful💚
