Outlaw the use of ECT

Petition Details

We want Electroconvulsive therapy to be banned in its every form.

Additional Information

ECT can cause memory loss and permanent brain damage. It sends 450V through the delicate tissue of the brain essentially frying it until a dangerous seizure is caused. It is completely ineffective in terms of helping reduce any symptoms of mental illness. New ECT under general anaesthetic is even more extreme as a higher voltage has to be used to achieve a seizure.
