I hear you. Just when it got cool last week, we had 104°on Saturday at my house, 102° yesterday, and this week is still going strong. The best time to Visit San Diego Beaches has always been September and October to avoid the May Gray, June Gloom, and July Morning Marine Layer, this year it's just hotter than usual--22° higher than our average!

The irony of an ECT provider essentially saying the patient’s symptoms were essentially begging for ECT is not lost on patients given ECT against their will by providers who “know best” that later deny injury, discard those for whom it made quality of life much worse.
It’s the patients, not their ECT providers who must live with the immediate and life-altering consequences for good or ill. #AuditECT
Harmed ECT recipients and their families must raise their voices because “If you’re silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.” -Nora Zeale Hurston
Which in modern patient safety language is “If you’re silent about your ECT injuries or a loved one’s ECT death, institutional ECT providers will report treatment was effective because providers “know better” than the patient or their families.

I respectfully encourage listening to this and perhaps even contacting Dr. Michael Ballam youtu.be/Zd6Y0_FniQM?is=ihpp…
Court mandating a procedure with zero evidence-based dosing consensus protocols governing the 2,000+ possible doses, 5 unique dosing methods, provided by physicians with no formal sub specialty training in biophysics or neuropathology of the procedure—and no formal training in identifying serious adverse effects or creating an evidence-based rehabilitation program if/when injured feels like something from a dystopian novel.
Imagine the influence $24-25 million of advertising in a single hour of television buys, raising big questions about the medical ethics of Big Pharma media influence.

What on earth is going on with X's "Adult content" ?
Today I celebrate 11 years psychiatric medication free! In 6 months it will be 9 years without post-Acute withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS) symptoms after having taken 37 different drug combos #AsPrescribed over the wild course of 17 years for what was presumed "treatment resistant schizoaffective disorder bipolar type with catatonia."
Gratefully, that horrific ordeal ended when a new (to me) insightful family physician suspected, probable fungal hepatic Encephalopathy and started me on antifungals. Within a week, there were ZERO "treatment resistant psychiatric symptoms"! I still adhere to a strict "Yeast Free" low glycemic lifestyle and enjoy a joy-filled life FREE from HE symptoms and PAWS. @_innercompass @ReadReadJ
