Download or read book Shock written by Kitty Dukakis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kitty Dukakis has battled debilitating depression for more than twenty years. Coupled with drug and alcohol addictions that both hid and fueled her suffering, Kitty's despair was overwhelming. She tried every medication and treatment available; none worked for long. It wasn't until she tried electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, that she could reclaim her life. Kitty's dramatic first-person account of how ECT keeps her illness at bay is half the story of Shock. The other half, by award winning medical reporter Larry Tye, is an engrossing look at the science behind ECT and its dramatic yet subterranean comeback. This book presents a full picture of ECT, analyzing the treatment's risks along with its benefits. ECT, it turns out, is neither a panacea nor a scourge but a serious option for treating life threatening and disabling mental diseases, like depression, bipolar disorder, and others. Through Kitty Dukakis's moving narrative, and interviews with more than one hundred other ECT patients, Shock: The Healing Power of Electroconvulsive Therapy separates scare from promise, real complications from lurid headlines. In the process Shock offers practical guidance to prospective patients and their families, boldly addressing the controversy surrounding ECT and awakening millions to its capacity to heal.

Book excerpt: Love is an energy; Energy is dynamic. If it moves, you will soon find that it is no longer love, it has become meditation, it has become prayer. Herein lies the whole path of tantra—that if love is properly developed, if the attitude of love is carefully looked after, it becomes a prayer. It ultimately becomes the highest experience of righteousness. When a person feels the energy of that love only for the first time. So, it becomes a strange mystery to that person. Because there the intellect does not do its work because the intellect cannot understand that mystery at all. For that we must open those doors of the heart, opening of which every living being is afraid. Because the more freedom that door gives you. The same amount of secrets completely engulfs you in themselves. You are like that hunter where you are hunting your own prey and away then you feel cheated. Because our mind cannot open or solve this fiber web. He will try to understand it as intellectually as possible. The more he will get entangled in it.

Download or read book Shock Therapy written by Edward Shorter and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shock therapy is making a comeback today in the treatment of serious mental illness. Despite its reemergence as a safe and effective psychiatric tool, however, it continues to be shrouded by a longstanding negative public image, not least due to films such as the classic One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, where the inmate of a psychiatric clinic (played by Jack Nicholson) is subjected to electro-shock to curb his rebellious behavior. Beyond its vilification in popular culture, the stereotype of convulsive therapy as a dangerous and inhumane practice is fuelled by professional posturing and public misinformation. Electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, has in the last thirty years been considered a method of last resort in the treatment of debilitating depression, suicidal ideation, and other forms of mental illness. Yet, ironically, its effectiveness in treating these patients would suggest it as a frontline therapy, bringing relief from acute symptoms and saving lives. In this book, Edward Shorter and David Healy trace the controversial history of ECT and other "shock" therapies. Drawing on case studies, public debates, extensive interviews, and archival research, the authors expose the myths about ECT that have proliferated over the years. By showing ECT's often life-saving results, Shorter and Healy endorse a point of view that is hotly contested in professional circles and in public debates, but for the nearly half of all clinically depressed patients who do not respond to drugs, this book brings much needed hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Sanger's 'What Every Girl Should Know' is a groundbreaking piece of literature that delves into the taboo subject of women's sexual education. This book, written in a straightforward and informative style, provides important information for young girls regarding their bodies, sexuality, and reproductive health. Set in the early 20th century, Sanger's work is considered revolutionary for its time, challenging societal norms and advocating for women's rights to access accurate sexual education. Through personal anecdotes and medical facts, 'What Every Girl Should Know' brings awareness to the importance of informed decision-making and autonomy over one's body. Margaret Sanger's own experiences as a nurse and birth control activist undoubtedly influenced the writing of this book. Her commitment to women's health and reproductive rights is evident throughout the pages, making this a must-read for anyone interested in the history of feminism and sexual education. I highly recommend 'What Every Girl Should Know' to readers seeking a deeper understanding of the struggles and triumphs of women's rights activism.
Download or read book Mother Shock written by Andrea J. Buchanan and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2009-03-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Andrea Buchanan, "Mother shock" is the state in which many new parents exist during those first confusing, chaotic and often comical years of parenting. It is the clash between expectation and result, theory and reality. It is the twilight zone of 24-hour-a-day living; where life is no longer neatly divided into day and night; the triple-impact of hormonal imbalance, sleep deprivation, and physical exhaustion. It is the stress of trying to acclimate quickly to the immediacy of mothering; a new conception of oneself, one’s role in the family and in the world; a fearful new level of responsibility, and a new delegation of domestic duties. In this much-needed and delightfully funny collection of essays, Buchanan shares the insight she gains as she moves through the stages of mother shock. From "Fear of the Double Stroller" and "Confessions of a Bottle Feeder" to "I’m an Idiot" and "Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Playgroup," Buchanan details the unimaginably difficult and unbelievably rewarding process of becoming a mother.
