Welcome to the Life After ECT podcast!

In this episode, we discuss:

- The reality of forced ECT still happening today.

- MindFreedom International's Shield Program, which helps protect against unwanted psychiatric treatment.

- The importance of psychiatric advance directives to formally assert your treatment preferences.

Learn how these resources can help you or a loved one, and how you can get involved in advocating for human rights in mental health care.

Disclaimers
