No, I would rather be mad. I don't trust those barbaric methods. I knew a man who had electric shock treatment to his brain. It didn't help him because he doesn't function well anymore.

@Wraithorn My sister had electric shock treatment for her mental issues, my parents said it works. So perhaps it's different for each person.

@SwanNual What ? That kind of thing is still being done in the modern world ? My word ! That's cray cray and not even in a good way or on a good day. ☺

@Wraithorn I don't know if they still practice it today, my sister is 31-years-old and she had that therapy when she was a child. The psychiatrist suggested it, she is the best child psychiatrist specialzed at treating people with autism. But idk perhaps her methods are cruel.
