Don't take things at face value. Get second opinions. What is known and what is going on in mainstream mental health care may not be the most current knowledge.
What happens when personal experience collides with professional insight? Marnie Wedlake, a registered psychotherapist and faculty member at Western University, opens up about her experience with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the 1990s. In this episode of People First Radio, Wedlake shares the story behind her critical autobiographical narrative study, 'Taken Away by the Green Butterfly'. Through her lens, you'll get a glimpse into the often misunderstood world of ECT and its impact on mental health treatment.
Wedlake doesn't just recount her past; she also discusses the gap between what we think we know and what scientific research actually tells us about ECT. With a focus on how mental distress is treated today, she emphasizes the importance of seeking multiple perspectives and staying informed about current research. This episode is not just for those curious about ECT but for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of mental healthcare.
Wedlake's unique blend of personal and professional insights will leave you questioning the traditional approaches to mental health treatment and considering new ways to support those in distress.
