They do though more typically for depression or suicidality...but it seems to have some impact on psychosis as well. My pdoc was telling me about another patient who had sz and got ect....he used to have the delusion that he had to sleep with three prostitutes in order to stop the voices....apparently he actually did it but it didn't work but he still continued to think he had to do it and he started getting better after ect but yeah I thought they didn't do it either so I really never looked at pdoc the same way after that he's told me some things that really make me think he goes too far to fix people...some people end up with forced injections etc....I don't know how anyone can think doing these things to other people without consent is OK. I remember once I was talking about antipsychiatry and he was like yeah we've done some terrible things and I almost corrected him to are still doing some terrible things.
