alexjuice Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Good lord! This must be exceedingly rare, no? Or the UK is completely batshti insane. Forced electro-shock? Do we do that here? To pregnant woman?? I'm shocked by this. "Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me. Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there Everybody's got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now." - Zimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexjuice Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 If you think it is wrong to drug and electroshock pregnant women .... I'm also shocked at the casual nature of the poster, Cheryl. "Do you think it's wrong..." followed by a crazy proposition that 90+% of people would think is wrong. Do you think it's wrong to skin left-handed 5 year olds and string them upside down from trees,... .... In the US one can openly talk about an impulse to go kill a bunch of strangers in a Batman movie or shoot a bunch of strangers from a university tower and no-one will impede you until after the fact. .... Cheryl, How many pregnant woman are electro-shocked against their will each month in the UK?

Administrator Altostrata Posted November 16, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 16, 2012 The RCP conference program contains the following: An update on the use of psychotropic medication and ECT in the perinatal period Chair: Dr Liz McDonald ECT in pregnancy and the postpartum period Dr Ann Roberts, Consultant in Perinatal Psychiatry, Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Clinical and ethical issues in managing perinatal women with schizophrenia as mothers Chairs: Dr Lucinda Green, Consultant in Perinatal Psychiatry, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and Dr Paola Dazzan, Honorary Consultant in Perinatal Psychiatry, Perinatal Service, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and Department of Psychosis Studies, Institute of Psychiatry, London I should hope there would be ethical issues! By the way, see Oyebode, 2012 Psychotropics in pregnancy: safety and other considerations. http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/2995-oyebode-2012-psychotropics-in-pregnancy-safety-and-other-considerations/ This is not medical advice.
