What ECT Took and What It Gave Back

This is the part of the story most people don’t talk about. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) still carries a brutal stigma, even though it can be lifesaving. This is one of the most honest accounts you’ll ever read: not just about ECT, but about the fear of losing your mind, your work, and your place in the world. And what happens when you start to come back.

The Statistics Are People

We talk about mental health in medicine, but too often reduce it to faceless data points. Pediatric intensivist Juliana Romano, MD, reminds us that behind every statistic is a name, and behind each one is a story. A story about what it means to speak up or stay silent. To reach for help or disappear. To choose to live. This is hers.
