The court systematically ignores people's experiences and preferences, and issues ECT orders that leave a lot of power to psychiatrists. The next step is to document people experiences.

Practices are different from province to province, but forced ECT seems to be possible everywhere. What our Quebec study shows is that the information documents are incomplete, and that the Guidelines for physicians are ambiguous about the requirement to obtain consent for each ECT session.
