Andy Luff talks about the Brain Damage he experienced following Electroconvulsive Therapy - ECT

In this episode, I have the absolute privilege of talking with Andy Luff and his partner Jill. Andy talks openly and candidly about the brain damage he experienced following ECT whilst describing the lack of care he received from services as a result. We also swear. As a result, I've given this an explicit rating - but please, before you scroll past, have a think. I really think it's worth your while taking some time to walk in Andy's shoes. Here are some links you may find useful once you've listened to Andy's story. My original (solo) podcast about ECT John Read talking about his meta analysis of the efficacy of ECT Daily Mail (yeah, I know!) article about the lack of information given to patients undertaking a course in ECT Royal College of Psychiatry's information page on ECT Mind's information page about the side-effects of ECT The campaign to demand an independent enquiry into the use of ECT Yeah, I know that's lots of homework - but it's as shocking as it is enlightening.
