The FDA has never required any clinical trials proving safety or efficacy of the treatment.

Perhaps they just did not start off having a hunch or a hypothesis which required data collection, and made their claim of safety and efficacy only after observing ECT and human behavior in a myriad of situations and events (from historical accounts). Perhaps they observed behavior which allowed them to make the claim that ECT may be effective for severe major depressive episode (MDE) associated with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Bipolar Disorder (BPD) in patients 18 years of age and older who are treatment-resistant or who require a rapid response due to the severity of their psychiatric or medical condition. That's good enough - right, peacegirl? |
This is sad because your analogies are so inaccurate. They are talking about giving electro-shock to children and the elderly which present a greater risk than the general population chuck. Of course you would go for this garbage. You're so full of shit.
