@robwipond @FlinnCarol81872 @angpeacock1111 @lawhern1 It's true. Injured patients must stick together and brainstorm solutions because we are abandoned without treatment plans to improve quality of #LifeAfterECT and/or drug injury. They say patient abandonment is against medical ethics. I've yet to see anything done about it.

This person had around 60 ECT sessions in 2016-2017. After the euphoria wore off, their depression remained. They regret the decision, feeling they shouldn't have been allowed to make it while in such a deep depression. #LifeAfterECT https://t.co/TEMteFBDr2

An ECT survivor shares how 50-60 treatments in 1997 caused her severe memory loss, took away years of her life, and cost her time with their child, her education and aspirations as a writer. #AuditECT #LifeAfterECT #Electroconvulsivetherapy https://t.co/B70Pi4SsOQ

https://t.co/w3n2j8DqxV Does modern ECT really use less electricty? Douglas G. Cameron’s work challenges common claims about Electroconvulsive Therapy, arguing that it causes lasting brain damage and memory loss, as he experienced firsthand. #AuditECT #LifeafterECT

@ruthelkan1 @ReadReadj @MITUKteam @LisaTMSA @CunliffeSue @Chris_E_Harrop Understanding ECT's compounding effects on memory, cognition and so many other long-term consequences are the only way to improve quality of #LifeAfterECT. #AuditECT

Tempting for many drs to speak of neurogenesis as tho it were a good thing. Not all neurogenesis is created equal. Seizure-induced neurogenesis is NOT a good thing! "Seizures begat seizures." Real Drs protect brain from seizures & acknowledge consequences. #LifeAfterECT #AuditECT

@Notshockednomo @chrisaikenmd @stopharmingus #ECT causes neurogenesis. "newly born cells derived from seizure-induced neurogenesis migrate aberrantly, are abnormally integrated & hyperexcitable, contributing w/ this to seizure generation and/or propagation." #Psychiatry need to stay in its lane! https://t.co/NYsOfEjr0g

Forever grateful my neurologist thought outside the box to Tx #brainfog by supporting #glymphatic system. Regular Manual Lymphatic drainage & @TactileMedical's #Flexitouch improve's quality of #LifeAfterECT's #Electricalinjury. @Ionic_Injury @marcjeschke https://t.co/7p8QlDKf7Q

#ECT's #Electricalinjury causes "Massive irritation of the trigeminal area." It's electrical field strength is so strong it impacts CN V, all trigeminal area #lymph nodes, & #glycocalyx in #lymphatic & vascular systems acutely sensitive to radiation & oxidative stress. @lymphnet

#Electricalinjury's delayed consequences are brutal. Chronic non-ionizing Radiation exposure destroys #lymph function. Took 5 yrs to figure out why I was gaining weight. So grateful 4 Dr. Karen Herbst & @TactileMedical's Flexitouch. I use it 2 hrs daily. #LifeAfterECT #AuditECT

Moving and insightful deep dive into the difficulties faced by ECT patients who have suffered cognitive impairment after this repeated procedure. If you doubt the nature of these injuries, I recommend you take the time to listen and learn. Prescribers especially. #LifeAfterECT
