"In 2018, Vanessa's husband was diagnosed with depression. He asked her to help him take his own life." This is a really dark article. I don't agree with its conclusions, and I don't agree with what this woman, or the guy's doctors, did, here. But holy shit, everything about this is broken. Big sad. - Kotaku In Action 2

It's your call. You need to find a reason to keep living, and I hope you do.

I agree 100% with your take on electroshock. It's barbaric, nearly as horrific as lobotomy, another psychological fetish that was contemporary with EST for a while until it was exposed as a method of control, a sort of non-lethal euthanasia that benefited those who would otherwise be forced to live with someone who goes around bothering people or is an embarrassment to the family.

Yes, lobotomies were performed that casually. I have no idea why EST is still being used.
