flag CCHR condemns psychiatric groups for using electroconvulsive therapy on children, calling it a human rights violation.

flag CCHR condemns global psychiatric groups for advocating electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in children, calling it a human rights violation. flag The organization cites data showing children as young as five have undergone the procedure in the U.S. and warns that it poses serious risks including brain damage, memory loss, and death. flag Experts and international bodies, including the WHO, have long opposed the use of ECT on minors, and CCHR demands a legislative ban due to the lack of proven efficacy and evidence of harm.
