Sandy Naiman
In her award-winning Coming Out Crazy blog, Sandy Naiman follows a
depression patient through a course of widely misunderstood electroconvulsive therapy (ECT),
formerly known as "shock therapy."
Patient "Angela" has been sidelined by severe depression that hasn't been alleviated through drug therapy. Read more about Angela in Naiman's series introduction.
