You recently wrote to me Juan Carlos Alonsoa young father from Arzúa (Galicia) forced to receive electroshocks by the judge. The seriousness of what happened and the anger it caused in the families of those who were affected by the issue led them to create the issue. Association of People Affected by Psychiatry.
These people want to draw society’s attention to the very widespread and common culture forced treatments in the field of psychiatry in the form of taking carelessness or risk psychiatric medicine with mandatory outpatient treatment.
I take you at your word:
All this can be a against human rights of patients, so the affected person and family can find themselves in a lonely and unprotected situation.”
Among the data presented by the Association of People Affected by Psychiatry, it stands out that 65,000 involuntary detainees per year in Spain; 30,000 disabilities annually; and 800 deaths in psychiatric units560 for incorrect or incorrect treatments.
These are cold data and figures that clearly show that there is an epidemic (because we don’t see it) of corruption caused by bad Psychiatry (There are other ways to understand the practice of helps people with mental health problems).
It happens that there are more and more cases of the application of the call Electroconvulsive Therapy (TEC) it electroshock without patient consent or of the family by order of the judge.
Damage from electroshock
Electroshock is a psychiatric treatment with which seizures are induced by applying electricity to the brain with an electronic device. ECT is often used to treat the condition major depression that do not respond to other treatments, and to treat mania, catatonia or schizophreniaamong other mental disorders began to be used in the 1930s and was around One million people worldwide receive ECT every year (2011 data).
The formula, obviously, has changed a lot since then (it’s just missing); now you are done with it general anesthesia and computers. Psychiatrists who promote it say ECT is effective and safe. Only in Spain do they do it at least 3,000 of these electric shocks every year. In the same link you can see that one of these professionals says that “death is 2 per 100,000 patients”, as if that was not enough.
About those baking I gave you some information that I got from Spanish Consensus on Electroconvulsive Therapy:
“ECT has proven to be the most effective therapy in the world (70-85% response) in severe symptoms, above antidepressant drugs.”
It doesn’t seem to be anything to write home about because in the worst case it won’t work for 30% of people, and they will be exposed to its effects. side effects (the most frequent are related to cardiovascular accidents during intervention and also those memory leak). Imagine being left without memories or without being able to recognize your loved ones.
Ivan’s time in Psychiatry
Ivan He is the son of Juan Carlos. Like many other people, the boy (30 years old) is having a bad time – he has suffered a psychotic break and he suffers from other problems – his mental health is in danger and he voluntarily goes to the Emergency Department. Conxo Hospital from Santiago de Compostela (Galicia), but all he received was to confess, and to be detained Community of Psychiatry.
And although his parents refused to let him be treated as well electroshocka judge authorized the application of the Electroconvulsive Therapy on the boy without attending or listening to his lawyers.
Just because of them psychiatrist -who did not listen or respect the decision of the young man’s parents-want that.
Here you have all the information about the great father that you have sent of the person concerned.
It is important to remember that forcing a person to receive medical treatment is counterproductive Patient Restraint Actwhich makes it clear that in our country all health services are voluntary. This law states:
Law 41/2002 states that it is not “the owner of The patient’s right to information“(art.5.2), but that “medical information is part of all care services, it will be true, it will inform the patient in a way that is reasonable and appropriate for their needs and it will help them to make decisions with your own will” (art.4.2), with the doctor responsible for the patient being the one who guarantees compliance with that right.
Amazing how “the best health care in the world” is. It’s scary to go to the hospital if you have a mental illness.
