That's the thing. Thought replacement is a fear, but not the reality of the treatment. This website is dedicated to support, education, and hopefully lowering the stigma of mental illness and treatments. To say the ECT does things that it doesn't do at all, to spread misinformation, is not at all helpful to those considering ECT as a treatment.

I am not saying people aren't afraid of ECT, or that they don't have frightened reactions to ECT, but you are making a claim of actual thought replacement -- intentional thought replacement -- on the part of physicians. That IS misinformation.
