Call in (267)521-0167 9-11 PM Eastern 9/30/2015 to be part of the special series on electroshock is a crime against humanity continues.

Loretta Wilson, Jane Rice, and other shock survivors will discuss cognitive impairment and rehabilitation after shock.

From Loretta Wilson:

In the year 2000 I was informed by the psychiatrist/professor of Michigan State University Dale D`Mello that I would need maintenance ECT and psych meds for the remainder of my life.

The last electroshock was administered by D. D`Mello in/around September of 2000.

In 2007 I began to taper off the drugs as well.  I began to lose weight (good thing because I tipped the scales at 261 lbs) and started getting healthier.  By 2009 I no longer needed my cane or handicap parking permit.

One drug kept me working for 8 long years.  Klonopin had so affected me it took 8 years to finally be set free.  My goal to become "drug free" has become a reality this year.  I have been drug free for quite some time now.  My physical health also improved to the point I am no longer taking medications for anything except a small dose of thyroid hormone.
