Electroconvulsive Therapy Press Releases

After a public records request revealed that children in the under 5 age group are given electroshock, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights is calling for a ban its use citing a lack of lack of clinical studies on safety and effectiveness.

Mental health industry watchdog, CCHR, calls for increased legal action to protect vulnerable youth from abuses in psychiatric facilities.

Group says actress Whoopi Goldberg recently revealed her mother was given electroshock resulting in the memory loss of her children, highlighting that women have been and continue to be over-targeted for ECT.
