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