Question 12284 — health

Summary

Ms. Fadila Khattabi questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about seismotherapy procedures, commonly called “electroshocks,” practiced in French psychiatric establishments. Following the dissemination of figures published by the National Health Insurance Fund, it appears that the number of seismotherapy procedures increased between 2010 and 2014. These statistics were made public following an action with the administrative court of Paris, led by the Citizens' Commission for Human Rights (CCDH), which concluded in January 2018. This commission notably received numerous testimonies, alerting elected officials to certain practices, for example electroshocks without anesthesia. Given these elements, she questions him about the possibility of communicating the figures concerning the number of acts carried out and not disclosed since 2014 as well as well as on the measures to be implemented in order to regulate or even limit these treatments, the effectiveness of which on the condition of patients has not yet been demonstrated.
