social class and race issues also come into play. Here in SC, I haven't been committed or put on a "court order" because of my parents. Also, I'm white and male--gender is also a huge issue. Much easier to commit women, particularly poor, minority women.Anyway, in other states, they also do involuntary ECT on an in- and out-patient basis. Fun times, huh? I read about this one women in NYC, she's been through over 100 ECT treatments, and the hospital wanted to do more. She doesn't speak much English. An anti-psychiatry group intervened, thank God.
