  • I could deal with the aesthetics if they kept the core function of old.reddit. But they didn't. I see "trending" posts more than I see posts from subs I have joined and that's what eventually has driven me from the site. Every time I log in, it's whack a mole with random bot repost subs.

  • This is all incorrect. They administer light anesthesia, like a colonoscopy. They titrate the voltage to least intense to still provoke a seizure. They administer meds to lower the seizure threshold so they can use less voltage.

    Some patients experience pain afterward, and they usually stop treatment if it is bad enough. Some patients experience symptom relief and continue treatment. Some get neither and they stop treatment because it is ineffective. Consent is always obtained from the patient or a guardian.

    ECT isn't the same experimental procedure it was in the mid 20th century. Patient advocacy laws and psychiatry specific laws passed in response to the media exposed of the asylum system in the 80s (I think?) have provided a lot of protection from the scenarios you're describing.
