does anyone out there know anything about shock therapy (or maybe experienced
it firsthand)??
my mother's (mom=56/7) psychiatrist is in favor of her having it to combat the
depression and anxiety (probably caused by her parkinson's). she's an
inpatient now in the hospital-- first they have to monitor her as her meds are
lowered before they can start the treatments.
it's a scary thought, although i've been told it's not nearly as barbaric as
we envision it (they've made many improvements in this technique over the
years). anyway, i'd love to hear from anyone who knows about it, especially
if it's positive (i'll take the negative, too, of course).
thanks!!
