If you want a really fun read... my colleague, Professor John Read, just published this one via Cambridge University Press calling out the research biases of Psychiatrists who promote shock treatment without  robust safety or efficacy evidence. I love how he deconstructs their invalid arguments and then highlights how perhaps one of the co-authors criticizing our work is inherently biased because they work for an ECT device manufacturer who just lost their product liability insurance due to numerous pending lawsuits involving permanent brain damage.

He states:

"One of the two authors of the heavily biased Semkovska and McLoughlin review, is a co-author of the Meechan et al. paper. Readers of their paper might not realise that MECTA, from whom Dr McLoughlin admits receiving money (Meechan et al., Reference Meechan, Laws, Young, McLoughlin and Jauhar 2021), is one of two US corporations that make ECT machines. MECTA filed for bankruptcy in 2021 because so many lawsuits had been filed against it that it could no longer obtain insurance cover."

Thank you Professor Read for your tireless determination to sound the clarion call warning others of research which minimizes ECT's risks and long-term consequences whilst exagerrating perceived benefits.
