Kitty Dukakis has battled debilitating depression for more than
twenty years. Coupled with drug and alcohol addictions that both
hid and fueled her suffering, Kitty's despair was overwhelming. She
tried every medication and treatment available; none worked for
long. It wasn?t until she tried electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT,
that she could reclaim her life. Kitty's dramatic first-person
account of how ECT keeps her illness at bay is half the story of
Shock. The other half, by award winning medical reporter Larry Tye,
is an engrossing look at the science behind ECT and its dramatic
yet subterranean comeback. This book presents a full picture of
ECT, analyzing the treatment's risks along with its benefits. ECT,
it turns out, is neither a panacea nor a scourge but a serious
option for treating life threatening and disabling mental diseases,
like depression, bipolar disorder, and others.
