Despite protests calling for a ban on the treatment, electroshock
therapy is frequently used by Canadian psychiatrists to treat severe
depression.
The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) estimates that
last year, the procedure, which dates back to 1938 and involves
passing electrical currents though the brain to trigger seizures, was
used more than 15,000 times in the country.
The figure has remained virtually unchanged since 2002, CIHI says,
showing that the popularity of the procedure remains strong.

Yes, it's used (or perhaps overused) because it alleviates the
symptoms of major clinical depression.
WTF do you have to offer as an alternative? Vitamins and exercise?
Maybe Dr. Cruise can help you formulate your diagnosis.

What does this have to do with scientology and the practice thereof?
Just wondering... do you have an agenda regarding scientology? Is
there some connection between being against electro-shock therapy and
scientology?
Thanks,
