Electroshock therapy just erases memory. Sometimes and only sometimes removing a bad memory or thought pattern may help. I personally believe that shock therapy is abuse. It is a con game played by morons in the mental health professions.

My Mother was given massive doses of shock back in about 1967. It did not help her mental health problems. I damaged her memory. You see, it hurts just like being tazered by the police. Eventually the patient will decide that he/she does not want to be hurt anymore. Then they just tell the mental health professional what they need to hear to stop the pain. This psychology should be common sense. Common sense does not seem to be taught in psychology or psychiatry!!
