Electroshock therapy (ECT) is only approved by the FDA as a "treatment" for catatonic depression. David isn't even diagnosed with depression! He is diagnosed with "schizoaffective disorder". ECT isn't an approved treatment for schizoaffective disorder!

We have documentation of David being forcibly electroshocked at least 17 times since May. The World Health Organization and United Nations both have advocated to ban forced electroshock because it's so inhumane!
