Stop FDA from Down-Classifying the Electroshock Device – MindFreedom International

April 4, 2016 By Deborah Schwartzkopff

MindFreedom International

Sign MindFreedom International’s Petition

#FDASTOPTHESHOCKDEVICEThere is a long history of the FDA attempting to remove the experimental status of the shock device. There is an even longer history of those who have been subjected to shock treatment and their allies working to expose the damage shock treatment causes. Shock treatment has robbed people of the memories of their lives, their education, skills, passions, relationships, children, significant others, and total sense of oneself.  For decades, when proper rule-making processes were upheld, the voices of those whose lives were destroyed by shock treatment reached those in power and prevented the down-classification of the shock device from happening.
