    ECT is still used nowadays, and it seemed to actually help him, why are you calling this case torture?

    I know the procedure is the poster child for psychiatric abuse / malpractice, but I don’t think this specific case is reflective of that

      Please do not promote torture

      They literally tie people to a chair and electrocute them repeatedly. It is like ABA except way worse. The level of trama this causes is very high and it is deeply unethical.
