We thank YOU for your support. Please ask people in your networks to support us as well! March 28, 2016 is deadline for FDA comments. Tune in to Talk with Tenney on March 17, 2016 from 9-11PM Eastern (267)521-0167 to hear and comment on the Final Draft of the Official Complaint to Ombuds Office at FDA concerning the processes that FDA has taken in the proposed down-classification of the shock device. The rule proposed is that for people who are 18 years of age and older, who experience a “depressive episode” as part of “major depressive disorder” or “bipolar disorder” and are “treatment-resistant” or “require rapid response” that the “probable benefit of ECT outweighs these risks” (p. 81228). Tune in to hear the current situation, share your experiences of shock treatmentor of working as an ally to people who are shock survivors, and encourage others to respond to the FDA.
