Are you denying that EST has potential to change the function of the brain as well? Now that's "sick," to quote YOU.
You're "shaking?" Why? Why does the mention of this therapy cause you to be upset? Do you harbor a prejudice against people who have partaken of it? Do you think there's something "wrong" with it? That's the sense I'm getting--otherwise, why would you be "shaking" at the mention of it?
I'm appalled at your readiness to throw electroshock "under the bus" as something "bad" and "shameful." It helps a lot of people, you know.
Why don't you try reading the link at the OP. No one is diagnosing anything--except Edward Snowden, who diagnosed a young woman having an epileptic seizure, and spoke to her about HIS seizures and how they affected him.
But hey, much easier to get "outraged" and "shaking" over medical matters. And, FWIW, as the links provided throughout this thread show, when the brain is impacted--by EST, by epilepsy, or by stroke--the function of the brain IS ALTERED. This isn't an opinion. It's not "presumption." It's not a "diagnosis" either--it's just plain and simple FACT.
And it's nothing to "shake" over, either.
Says a lot about you, that remark.
