no concern that it causes traumatic brain injuries?
Are you not open to the idea that some people may benefit from such voluntary treatment?

Reports of catastrophic memory loss date to the very beginning of ECT. The definitive study of ECT's memory effects remains that of Irving Janis (1950). Janis conducted detailed and exhaustive autobiographical interviews with 19 patients before ECT and then attempted to elicit the same information four weeks afterwards. Controls who did not have ECT were given the same interviews. He found that "Every one of the 19 patients in the study showed at least several life instances of amnesia and in many cases there were from ten to twenty life experiences which the patient could not recall." Controls' memories were normal. And when he followed up half of the 19 patients one year after ECT, there had been no return of memory (Janis, 1975).
