The safety and efficacy of ECT needs to be seriously revisited.
Think of it this way. If your only goal is to temporarily get the patient out of a bad place, then why not use opiates?I would be willing to bet that theraputic use of opiates would be as (if not more) effective than ECT and you would probably have less long negative health consequences.
