Professor John Read, a clinical psychology expert from the University of East London, shares his troubling experiences with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), an area he became interested in after witnessing two shocking incidents during his youth.
One of these incidents involved a man who died on the ECT table, with the event subsequently covered up by erasing all notes about it.
In his interview with Peter C. Gøtzsche, Read discusses why he believes ECT will likely be abandoned in the future.
He argues that the therapy is far more dangerous than many realize, with its benefits remaining highly questionable.
The episode sheds light on the risks and the growing skepticism surrounding ECT.
