What is Electroconvulsive Therapy, or ECT?

For some, it’s a safe and effective way to ease symptoms of clinical depression when medication isn’t enough. Join us for our conversation with Elizabeth, where they destigmatize and demystify this treatment through the lens of their own experience.

Also in this episode: The relationship between mental health, emotional health, depression, and eating disorders. How to support eating and mental health. Staying accountable to your goals. Simple ways to show up for one another, and stay connected in isolation.
