Psychiatry Still Uses Electroshock Therapy on Children

A recent article published in the Melbourne, Australia paper Herald Sun has drawn attention to the ongoing psychiatric practice of using electroshock therapy on children as young as four years of age.

Electroshock therapy, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is the practice of applying electric shocks to the brain in order to induce seizures and modify behavior by damaging "problematic" portions of the brain."

After a few sessions of ECT, the symptoms are those of moderate cerebral contusions," said neurologist Sidney Sament. "The patient 'forgets' his symptoms because the brain damage destroys memory traces in the brain, and the patient has to pay for this by a reduction in mental capacity of varying degree."

  1. This doesn't seem like a very well-thought-out option. There's no telling how much damage that might do to a child's brain. Personally, I think medication like Prozac (in milder doses, naturally) is a safer option. http://www.prozac.bz

    For those who want to know the truth about Psychiatry and its PR propaganda machine, world-wide, the information found on the following website will give it to you, but it takes some confront just to look at.

    Anything evil takes guts to actually LOOK at, but, if one just keeps on LOOKING, they’ll be able to SEE what’s there.

    For the truthful information regarding what Psychiatry ECT REALLY DOES, please go to this website and find out.

    www.CCHR.Org

    Also on this website, is the suppressed information regarding all the deadly Psychiatric Drugs (Prozac, Ritalin, Zoloft, etc, etc, etc) and what they really do.

    Also, any and all the school shootings around the world and any other “weird” activity, like a good mother, now on Psychiatric drugs, who then murders her own children; Or a teenager, who was happy and healthy, but because she’s “diagnosed” with ADHD(?) is prescribed a Psychiatric Drug and weeks later, is found to have committed suicide, hanging herself, or cutting her own wrists, because she now “wanted to die”.

    All these “weird” incidents come about because of ONE group…

    Psychiatry and its deadly Drugs and its ECT.

    There are thousands of cases now surfacing around the world about these similar incidents; but what’s really behind all these incidents, what’s causing all these “weird” things to occur: Psychiatry and its deadly Drugs and its ECT.

    But, as I said, one has to be able to LOOK and see for oneself:

    Here’s the website again:

    www.CCHR.Org

    Thank you for doing this.

    You may have saved your own life, if not the life of someone you know, because you now have the truth about Psychiatry.

    Please forward this website on to all you know, because the correct knowledge can safeguard, not only yourself, but all you love, against Psychiatry evils.

    As, out of their own mouths, Psychiatrists state, they’ve never cured anyone and don’t even know that there is any cure for what they’re trying to treat?

    Please take a look on that website I mentioned and you’ll see Psychiatrists stating exactly this.

    The sole individual, or parent, has a tough time fighting Psychiatry once they discover what Psychiatry actually is doing by killing off society; but a group, such as The Citizens Commission on Human Rights has millions of members, World-wide and growing fast and you can help them by becoming a member yourself or assist them in any way you can.

    Here’s that website again: www.CCHR.Org

    To a sane healthy happy productive and fun planet Earth…

    All my love,

    Paul Maxwell Godfrey.
