Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective evidence-based medical treatment. ECT is endorsed by the APA when administered by properly qualified psychiatrists for appropriately selected patients.
You’re welcome to disagree with the APA, or point out that the APA only represents a small fraction of psychologists, or question whether this is really a consensus opinion.
The APA isn’t god.
But I don’t think you can say things like “No, not even close” and expect to be taken seriously.
