How I learned to stop worrying and love the electric shocks.

No, I'm doing going insane. I'm taking a psychopathology course here at good old UNCW and it's crazy go nuts project time. In the process, I found this great editorial on how Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) has been shunned by professionals, yet the beneficial effects are incredible: 80-90% response rate as a first-line treatment. Wow. Here's the link: http://jama.ama-assn.org/issues/v285n10/ffull/jed1 0007.html I'll throw up a link to my group's PowerPoint Presentation as soon as our professor uploads it. It's going to be a report of two physiological treatments for major depressive disorder: ECT and Excercise. Exercise is especially effective in senior adults. Our presentation is going to rock. But enough rambling about that. Look for a real entry later on tonight, during my mad scramble to write the greatest state residence hall organization website on the planet (while stealing Penny Arcade's style ;) ), or whenever I get around to it.
