I respectfully disagree. If all procedures where you are put to sleep are barbaric, it would be a huge list. Is a heart transplant barbaric because the procedure puts you under? Sure, being put under has risks but sometimes it is necessary.
As for the inducing of a small seizure, consider it a reboot of the brain like you would reboot a computer. It is a safe and contained seizure, unlike grand mal seizures one may experience with epilepsy.
You seem to be unfortunately uneducated on the subject of ECT. I hope someday your view will change.
