Summary

Mr. Gabriel Serville questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about seismotherapy or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). According to statistics from the national health insurance fund, more than 25,000 ECT sessions are reimbursed by social security each year. This treatment consists of an electric current of up to 460 volts in the brain. This violent and controversial process can be a source of serious trauma for patients. Thus, it appears from numerous testimonies that ECT causes memory problems, amnesia, depression, suicidal thoughts and behavior, etc. Also, he asks him to indicate which studies have been published making it possible to authorize the prescription of ECT in France, the list of hospitals authorized to issue them and what control is carried out by the health authorities on these practices.

Machine translation from French. The official text remains authoritative.
