Electroconvulsive Therapy, or ECT, is often portrayed in movies and pop culture as a cruel or abusive treatment. However modern day ECT is far from the stereotypes. The process is done carefully, and studies have found it has a remission rate for treatment-resistant depression far higher than most medications. Join host Dr Justin Clark as he and his guests dispel the myths around ECT on this Line One.

This episode starts out chaotic, fun, frivolous and hilarious - talking carrot cake and nudist camps - all in the same breath! Host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and producer Sue Duffield, take the rabbit trail down that crazy path of spilled medicine caplets, Mark Lowry's giant custom pill box container, to even talking (as friends do) about the dilemma of knowing whether or not you're taking the right pill at the right time, or if you took it at all, for that matter!  Also discussed on this episode is Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that is recently becoming the "go to" therapy in treatment-resistant depression, or those with dementia and compromised brain health. The safety, however, of ECT has been consistently questioned, particularly among elderly patients with cognitive impairment. Mary Anne greatly questions the use of this kind of therapy with dementia patients and has seen personally the "not so good" results. The Veranda Ministries is a compassionate oasis allowing caregivers to entrust their loved ones with care on a daily basis. And so is the heart of this podcast, to "do the right thing, for the right reason."  www.theverandaministries.org

This week's podcast features Rebecca Allen, MD. Rebecca is a neuropsychiatrist who completed her residency and fellowship at Harvard in 2017. Her specialty is interventional psychiatry, including treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Electroconvulsive Therapy, ketamine, and Vagus Nerve Stimulation. Her work has included research on quality of life in multiple sclerosis, sleep and memory, and authoring a book chapter on sleep for a Harvard textbook.   Our conversation covered a lot of ground (as usual) because Rebecca is currently participating in research on Vagus Nerve Stimulation, comparing techniques in brain stimulation, electro compulsive therapy for bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, and the other psychotic disorders. It's quite a fascinating field and she is an expert with a lot of experience and education in this area. She is on the forefront and cutting edge of the current treatments and technology available which allows her to provide the best treatments available for her patients.  She can make suggestions but as with all fields of medicine it is ultimately up to the patient to make their own decisions. Her advice is to not just take what she says, go talk to other people, do some of your own research before making a decision about treatment. Very good advice in all things medical! Rebecca is Partner and Director of Research at Seattle Neuropsychiatric Treatment Center, where she also teaches psychiatry residents from three training programs. Her leadership positions have included being President of the Washington State Psychiatric Association and President of the international Clinical TMS Society.  Rebecca can be contacted at:  seattlentc.com

You have heard it here a million and one times, the mental health care system in our country is broken. We often talk about it on the show, but it is great to hear other perspectives and experiences. Holly bravely shares her story on this episode of navigating the mental health care system for 3 years with her mom. Her mom had a late (69 years old) onset of psychosis with depression. Holly takes us through her story as caretaker and the ups and downs of trying to get her mom the help she needed. In the end, it was a treatment called ECT (Electroconvulsive therapy) that saved her moms life. ECT has a stigma surrounding it that needs to be broken because sometimes it is the only answer.

Today, electroconvulsive therapy is still used to treat those struggling with severe depression, bipolar II, schizophrenia, and other treatment-resistant disorders. An estimated 100,000 people are treated annually across the U.S. Nevertheless, ECT carries stigmas due to its tarnished and sordid history, marred by inhumane and forced procedures, torture, and wild experimentation.

In a world exclusive, today Kate Bush gives Emma Barnett her reaction to being discovered by a new generation and making it to number 1 in the UK singles charts 44 years after her first chart-topper Wuthering Heights. Running Up That Hill was first released in 1985 and its use in the Netflix hit series Stranger Things has made Kate Bush a social media and streaming sensation. We also speak to Caitlin Moran about how rare it is to hear from Kate and why she is inspired by her songs. A report out today has found that the number of abortions has increased over the course of the pandemic. The cost of living has been cited as a key factor for this rise at an uncertain time in the economy and with job insecurity. Mary-Ann Stephenson is co-director of the Women's Budget Group, an independent body which analyses the impact of government policy on women. A decision is also expected any day from the US Supreme Court on whether to overturn Roe v Wade – the historic 1973 ruling which has guaranteed women access to abortion nationwide. At the centre of this legal challenge, is a woman who is being hailed by some as the lawyer who could end Roe v Wade. She is the Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch…and the BBC's Holly Honderich joins Emma to explain more. Twice as many women than men are receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) according to researchers at the University of East London. ECT is used to treat a range of mental health issues including severe depression, long-lasting mania, and catatonia. But an FOI request to twenty NHS Trusts has also revealed that older women are also more likely to be receiving treatment. They are concerned it causes memory loss and that patients are not given sufficient information to make informed decisions before they give consent to treatment. Emma is joined by one of the lead researchers, clinical psychologist Dr Chris Harrop and by Dr Trudi Seneviratne, Registrar of the Royal College of Psychiatry. Emma speaks to the writer, DJ and broadcaster, Annie Mac on what has been a big week for music. They discuss Beyonce's new single, Break My Soul, which marks a change of musical genre for her as it's a House track. They talk about the history of house music and it's cultural shifts and about Kate Bush and Glastonbury 2022.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or electroshock therapy as called in its early years, is a medical treatment for mental illness with a dark history. Discussions of the procedure are often burdened with controversy, including its barbaric portrayal in media and its use by the Nazi party to kill those living in sanatoriums and nursing homes in Austria who were deemed “incurable.” Despite its morbid and complicated past, ECT is the only version of “shock therapy” still in use today. It is a safe and effective treatment for severe depression but remains haunted by the stigma attached to the procedure and medical diagnoses it is utilized to treat.

Modern Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is very safe and effective. It is a viable treatment option for patients whose medication or other treatments have failed to ease symptoms associated with some mental health issues. Today's ECT has evolved into a valuable treatment tool recognized by the National Institute of Mental Health, American Psychiatric Association, American Medical Association, and the U.S. Surgeon General. This episode will review the modern day application of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and address the benefits of the clinical intervention for Treatment Resistant Depression. Why would someone consider ECT?

「電痙攣治療」（Electroconvulsive Therapy，簡稱ECT）是許多電影、小說在描述早期精神醫療中，最深植人心的特色治療。然而，非常多反精神醫學（anti-psychiatry）、對精神醫療的污名化也與ECT非常有關。近期《新英格蘭期刊》（NEJM）一篇回顧文獻介紹精神醫學歷史最悠久的這種治療方式，相信也能讓大家更了解ECT。 我們也將NEJM這篇對ECT深入淺出的介紹，以《會談地圖》的問答形式整理，預計也會加入未來新版的《會談地圖》。

My name is Kilayla and I have DID, a trauma-rooted disorder most commonly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, an outdated term from the 1900's. I have been treated for multiple medical conditions over the years both physical and mental, even experiencing twelve sessions of Electroconvulsive Therapy at 18 years old. I am considered treatment resistant in regards to my depression and have had experiences of psychosis that caused great turmoil and further traumatization. I am a suicide attempt survivor and have struggled with severe self harm for over a decade. Despite all this, I have written four books by the age of twenty four. The first was written when I was 14 and published at 15, while the next, a poetry collection, was released when I was 22. It is available on Amazon and titled WHEN I AM SOMEONE ELSE. In the year 2022 I will be releasing two new novels - The Buried King, a soft fantasy fiction novel detailing survival, strength and more - and another poetry collection entitled SCARLET CLOCK under Tamarind Hill Press, an independent publisher in the United Kingdom. I have experience with peer support, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and art therapy; I am a digital and traditional artist, cat mom and I have done volunteer work on and off for years. Hopefully you'll find some part of this wonderful to talk about and share with your audience as my aim is to inspire and provide people with a little bit of hope I'm this topsy turvy thing we call life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wvuncommonplace/message

The thought of shocking someone into having a seizure all for...what? Cure their depression? That sounds crazy! But it's real! And like so many topics on this podcast, the story of how this concept came to be is just as interesting and seemingly insane as the actual practice. This week we discuss a procedure called Electroconvulsive Therapy, or ECT. A treatment used in the world of psychiatry to treat patients with a range of concerns. Listen in to hear about the serendipitous origins of ECT and how it got its reputation over the years. Then we'll discuss the intersection of ECT and women's wellbeing, and how something meant to help folx may have caused unintentional harm. We promise you'll be ~shocked~ by what you hear!Check out our Feminist Corner discussion questions after listening and send us your thoughts! Thinking about ECT as a treatment for really severe mood disorders like depression, what factors may have led to women being ECT candidates? And also, think about this in the context of the time period during which ECT was particularly gnarly, without anesthesia or anything like that? What's one takeaway you'd like to give our listeners about ECT, maybe a way in which your mind has changed about it!

We answer a listener's question about how to break up with your psychiatrist or psychotherapist.  In the second half of the episode we discuss the history and current use of electroconvulsive therapy.

Amberleah White has suffered from depression and mental disorders as far back as she could remember into her early childhood. While she and her loved ones had done what they could to help her fight against her treatment-resistant major depressive disorder, it wasn’t until she confided in her husband Jason about her suicide plan that a more intense treatment option was considered. Amberleah started on a treatment series known as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), which through controlled induced seizures helped pull her out of her darkest depression to the relief of her husband and twelve children. She joins the Relentlessly Resilient podcast today to discuss her story, and the process and side effects of ECT in the hopes that her story will help others understand if Electroconvulsive Therapy is the right treatment to help them. Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.

“[Springsteen's book] is about rock and roll; it's about the joy of music; and it's about clinical depression. He weaves these together and Springsteen is not only a great example of how someone can live a creative life while enduring this kind of suffering, but he also shows how invisible depression can be to others. Who would have ever equated that the man who is just briming with life and vitality on stage was the same person who had periods in life where he found it very difficult to get out of bed. He felt nothing but futility and hopelessness in his life amid all of the riches, celebration, and fame that he experiences."   Episode Description: We discuss the history of sadness and depression - how they are seen as similar and different from each other throughout history and across cultures. Professor Sadowsky is wary of reductionism in understanding the origins of depression and values both biologic and psychoanalytic treatment approaches. We consider the concept of "chemical imbalance." We discuss famous individuals who have struggled with depression and how they demonstrate that one can live a vital life alongside this terrible condition. We conclude with a few words about the origin of his interest in this subject.   Our Guest: Jonathan Sadowsky, Ph.D. is the Theodore J. Castele Professor of the History of Medicine and Associate Director of the Program in Medicine, Society, and Culture in the Department of Bioethics and Medical Humanities at Case Western Reserve University. He holds secondary appointments in Bioethics and Psychiatry. He holds degrees in History from Wesleyan (BA), Stanford (MA), and The Johns Hopkins University (Ph. D.) and studied psychiatric epidemiology at Columbia. He is the author of Imperial Bedlam: Institutions of Madness and Colonialism in Southwest Nigeria; Electroconvulsive Therapy in America: The Anatomy of a Medical Controversy; and The Empire of Depression: A New History.

In this episode, Ryan discusses his career as an Interventional Psychiatrist, using neuromodulation treatments for clients who are not responding to medications and therapy. He discusses the use of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) which is FDA approved for both depression & OCD and often turned to after multiple antidepressants have not been effective. He discusses how TMS stimulates brain circuits through magnetic pulses, manipulating activity in areas of the brain and stimulating neuroplasticity in specific pathways. He describes how clients often report feeling less reactive, as the process may help balance the connections between the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex, increasing cognitive control and emotional regulation. We also discuss ECT and Ketamine which are other treatments provided through his organization, Mindful Health Solutions, as well as his training in Psilocybin and MDMA assisted therapy, which are not currently approved outside of research settings in California. He discusses how each of these interventions can promote brain changes like neuroplasticity, and how it may be beneficial to pair these interventions with therapy concurrently. He discusses the applications mainly for depression and OCD, but we also touch on and speculate about how brain stimulation & psychedelic treatments could be used to treat a variety of disorders, such as PTSD, borderline personality, ADHD, Social Anxiety, and substance abuse/dependence. Ryan Vidrine, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of OCD and related anxiety Disorders. He started his career in neuroscience and moved into psychiatry with a particular interest in the field of Interventional Psychiatry and Neuromodulation for treatment resistant conditions, which includes the use of ECT, TMS, ketamine/esketamine, and deep brain stimulation. During his residency training, Ryan worked in the UCSF OCD & Anxiety Specialty Clinic, developing expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of the full range of anxiety disorders, approaching patients from an Acceptance-Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, which focuses on patient values as the anchor and impetus for behavioral changes. He is currently Director of OCD and Anxiety Services at Mindful Health Solutions and an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UCSF School of Medicine. Additionally, he completed training through the CIIS Psychedelic Therapy and Research Program in San Francisco, CA.

This week, Peter Simons covers a study of almost 15,000 ECT users which found that the treatment did not reduce suicide risk compared with usual care, as well as an audit of ECT use in England which found very little oversight and a lack of outcome measures. He also covers a pharmaceutical industry-sponsored study that tested a new way to reduce the placebo effect so that newly developed drugs appear more effective.
