Restaint Deaths and Abuse
Psychiatrists
persist in inflicting psychosurgery and electroshock on patients even
though no valid medical or scientific justification exists for these
practices. After more than 60 years, psychiatrists can neither explain
how they are supposed to work nor justify their extensive damage.
When Jennifer Martin’s 70-year-old mother experienced headaches and nausea and stopped eating and talking, a psychiatrist claimed she was in shock from recent deaths in her family and gave her ECT. Less than 24 hours later she was dead. An autopsy revealed that the problem was not depression, but a brain stem complication. “Shock treatment killed her,” Ms. Martin said.
A grieving husband says a psychiatrist recommended electroshock because it would release a chemical in the brain that would make his wife, Dorothy, feel better. Aware of her earlier heart attacks, he administered 38 electroshocks. The last one killed her.
