Life After ECT

Hi, and welcome to the Life After ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) Podcast. I'm your host Anna, a childhood psychiatric drug and teen ECT survivor.

The goal of this podcast is to shed light on the facts about ECT, as well as dispel myths and misconceptions.

Join us as we discuss the science, side effects, controversies, and stories of those harmed by the procedure.
