IT’LL TAKE TWO POTENT FORCES TO WIN THE WAR AGAINST ECT ABUSE. YOU. AND US.
“I was a psychiatric nurse for 22 years, and I worked at a facility that did ECT on adults. I became a whistle-blower because I saw things that were being done to patients that were wrong, unlawful and unethical. This is about making money at the expense of vulnerable people in our society.”
“With CCHR, here was someone who would listen to what I’ve seen in the psychiatric community behind locked doors. I am glad that CCHR is here for people like me.”
“The work of CCHR is very important because there are many grievances in psychiatry. I’ve learned that I am not alone but part of this movement for humanity.”
As our groundbreaking documentary Therapy or Torture: The Truth about Electroshock will demonstrate in unforgettable detail, the numbers are staggering. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) victimizes a million people worldwide every year. It has a death rate 50 times higher than the US murder rate.
Together with nurses, we’ve implemented safeguards against, and bans on, the use of ECT. In one government investigation into a dangerous combination of ECT and psychotropic drugs, a nurse provided evidence to CCHR that subsequently helped ban the treatment that had caused 48 deaths.
Our documentary is free. But the lives it could save are priceless.
