1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you Should Know from House Stuff Works

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: Clark and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant, which means it's

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: time for Stuff you should Know. Indeed shocking edition. See

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: I take the rap for a bad pun, but you

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: in fact, I said that before we recorded. I know

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: I before we recorded. I have a public image. I

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: have to care. Got um Chuck. Yes, have you ever

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: seen or read or both? One flu Over the Cookies Nest?

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 1: Yes both? Oh? Yeah? Did you like the book more

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: than the movie or vice versa? Both? The book was great.

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: I've seen a movie a dozen times. Yeah, one of

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: my favs. It is a great movie. Yeah. I haven't

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: read the book. Although I was a KINKSI fan. I

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: thought he was a cool dude. Yeah, I've read a

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: few us. Um, what else did he write? He did

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: the Well, Actually he didn't write. That was Tom Wolf

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: that wrote the electrically, that was figured prominently obviously. Oh yeah,

19
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: he was the main KESI wrote the crap. I'll come

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: back to it. He wrote the what was it the Well?

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen or read One Flew Over the

22
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Cuckoo's nest you totally should is, like Chuck was saying,

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: one of the best movies of all time. It is

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: a great book apparently, and Um. One of the things

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: that factors into it setting in insane asylum in the

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: fifties I would say maybe sixties. UM. And one of

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: the I guess almost a character in this UM movie

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: or book is electro convulsive therapy, which the staff uses

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: to basically keep the patients in check. UM. Just the

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: very threat of getting electroc convulsive therapy shock treatment, a

31
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: type of shock treatment, we should say, is enough to

32
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: just keep everybody very docile and calm and settled down.

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: And they started to get riled up, you can just

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: ask him, do you want some shock treatment? They're like no, No,

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: everything's good, Everything's fine. And apparently because of that and

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: KESI worked as an orderly in a mental institution in Oregon,

37
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: so he saw his first hand when he wrote it. Um,

38
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: because of that, E. C. T. Got a pretty bad

39
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: rap over the course of a couple of decades, the

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: point where it's basically forced almost out of existence. And

41
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't just keezy Um making this stuff up like

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: he said he was. He was a disorderly like like

43
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: the fat Boys. Um. But there was also a study

44
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: in n by the National Institutes of Health that found

45
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: like that was pretty common practice among antal institutions at

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the time because it was drug free. It was just

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: using electrical shock and it wasn't a lobotomy, right, and

48
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: um it was the effects were temporary and apparently it

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: worked to keep everybody in line. But that's a gross

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: abuse of this pretty effect of therapy for mental illness, yeah,

51
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: for severe depression. And these days it is approved by

52
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: the National Institute of Mental Health, the a p A,

53
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: the a m A, and the U. S. Surgeon General

54
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: and they all say that if used properly e c

55
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: T these days and you know, tweaked diversion of what

56
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: they did back then, is can be very beneficial. And

57
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Kitty Dukakus, wife of Michael Ducacus, former presidential nominee until

58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: he wrote in a tank, uh, wrote a book because

59
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: she had it and it's called Shock, The Healing Powers

60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: of electro Convulsive Therapy, and um it helped her out.

61
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: And I've read excerpts and reviews and stuff, and she

62
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: doesn't like champion it for everyone or anything, but gives

63
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: a lot of great history and then says how it

64
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: has helped her in her journey through depression. Apparently also

65
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: helped Dick cab It. Oh yeah, yeah, it did not

66
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: help so much, Um, Sylvia platha in a standing way, right, Um,

67
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's been it's been used on a decent

68
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: amount of people. Apparently about a hundred thousand Americans a

69
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: year undergo electro convulsive therapy. Who who got George? Yeah,

70
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah, we've already spoiled that show.

71
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: So we should just like do dramatic readings from scripts. Uh. Um,

72
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: So we we should also say before we go forward,

73
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: it's very easy to call it electro shock therapy. That's

74
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: kind of right. Electro Convulsive therapy is a type of

75
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: shock therapy and shock therapies. The aim is to shock

76
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: your system into having a convulsion because as far back

77
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: as Hippocrates, it was noticed that people who have mental

78
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: illnesses who experienced convulsions tended to feel a little better

79
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: after the after they experienced their seizures. So what you're

80
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: trying to do with any kind of shock treatment is

81
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: induced a seizure and a convulsion. Because no one knows

82
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: why still to this day, but it does something to

83
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: your brain and can hear whether temporarily or permanently, UM,

84
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: mental illness. Yeah, I wonder how this I never I

85
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: didn't think about until just now. I wonder how it

86
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: ties in with like a temper tantrum, like a kid

87
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: feeling better afterward or more settled afterward, or an adult

88
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: that just loses it, you know, and then you know,

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: I think everyone's truly lost it before in some emotional way,

90
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: and then afterwards you're like, boy, I feel like more

91
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: relaxed now a right, like resetting after like a catharsis. Yeah,

92
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: I bet you. It's sort of similar pathways in the brain, right,

93
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: except this is with electricity exactly. So, UM, let's talk

94
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: about the history of shock therapies and electro convulsive therapy

95
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: or e c T. That's easier to say. So. One

96
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: thing that they did in the twentieth century, Um, they

97
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: started to experiment with insulin shock, where they would just

98
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: dose the crud out of somebody with insulin and basically

99
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: like bring them into a coma and in the comma

100
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: they would have convulsions. Is that right? Yeah? Right, that

101
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: was the point. Like they figured out this guy named

102
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: Ladislaus von Maduna, who was a Hungarian physician. Yeah, he

103
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: figured out that if you take insulin and injected in

104
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: somebody puts him in a coma temporary coma, UM, that

105
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: you can bring him out of with glucose, and then

106
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: while they're in the coma, they have seizures. And he

107
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: was one of the ones were probably the first modern

108
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: physician to suggest that there was a link between seizures

109
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: or um. Yeah, seizures and the curing of mental illness.

110
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: He took it one step too far and saying that

111
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: schizophrenia and epilepsy were counter productive maladies, so if you

112
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: had one, you couldn't have the other. He was wrong

113
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: about that, but he was right about seizures having a

114
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: curative effect on mental illness though. But he was the

115
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: one who started championing and champion championing using insulin to

116
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: produce seizures, so he led the way, followed by Italian

117
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: scientists the nineteen thirties who only brought electricity into it. Well,

118
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: hold on, there was another guy too before. Yeah, like

119
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: right around the same time they are all these competing

120
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: shock therapies, UM, and there was the insulin guy, and

121
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: then there was another dude UM named Manfred's sakel And

122
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: he was testing something called metrozol, which is the respiratory stimulant.

123
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: And when you give somebody this stuff, they have seizures.

124
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: And it's very reliable and it's very powerful, more powerful

125
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: than insulin, and it requires less recuperation time in hospitalization time.

126
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: The problem is it's so powerful. The like of patients

127
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: who had shock therapy using metrosol suffered spinal fractures from

128
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: because the convulsions were so hardcore, like the Exorcist. Yeah,

129
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: and then some now we're electricity. Yeah they discovered electricity.

130
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: No way, that's not true. I think it was like, um,

131
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: these Italians, they were scientists, and they said, we can

132
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: use this to jolt this guy like with these delusions.

133
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: He's he's clearly suffering, like shock him with electricity, and

134
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: the delusions receded after like several treatments, and then just

135
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: a few years later, in the nineteen forties, it was

136
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: being used as a regular treatment in the US for schizophrenia, depression, bipolarism. Um,

137
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: but it's not like it is today. You said they've

138
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: tweaked it. They've definitely improved it. They figured it out,

139
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: Like we were a little barbaric before no anesthesia back then. Yeah,

140
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: so you were wide awake and conscious when they applied

141
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: in electro shock in your brain like in Cuckoo's Nest.

142
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: Violent physical reactions with the body that don't happen these

143
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: days were very powerful. Yeah, because a there's anesthesia. And

144
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: they also these days put um muscle relaxers and stuff

145
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: everywhere except the big the big Foot, the big foot

146
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: eight single foot, well when it has a blood pressure cuff,

147
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it is the big Foot, but yeah,

148
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: they they introduced it intravenously and then they put a

149
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: blood pressure cuff on your around your ankle, so your

150
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: body isn't like convulsing anymore, but dick and tell it's

151
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: going on by e G s and stuff. And then

152
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: the foot single foots movement, Yeah, because you're keeping the

153
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: muscle relaxer and I guess the anesthesia out of the foot. Yeah,

154
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: so someone's actually a doctor looking just at your foot supposedly.

155
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that anywhere else. I saw that. Yeah,

156
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: I saw that. Um like they even with the muscle relaxant,

157
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: your fists are going to clench it on clanch in.

158
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: Your chest might heave and they'll still put a tongue

159
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: thing in your mouth to keep you from buying your

160
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: tongue off, right, But the the cumulative effect of it

161
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: is not going to be felt at all by you

162
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: because you're out under general anesthesia and you're probably feeling

163
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: pretty good anyway. That's true thanks to Mr Muscle Relaxer.

164
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: And then the you know what, the way you've always

165
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: seen it on TV, even when they portray modern like

166
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: on six ft Under, they show people are always render

167
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: this like zombies, like lobotomized essentially, and that's that's not

168
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: what's going on these days. No, well, even back then,

169
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: it was kind of a caricature of what a person

170
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: looked like coming out of it because there is memory

171
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: loss associated with it, yeah, and there still is. Yeah,

172
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: there was then, there still is now. So I think

173
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: that's almost like that's what that's what some artists rendering

174
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: or some directors rendering of what somebody with memory loss

175
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: looks like. And so that's what just kind of got

176
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: picked up in the popular culture following e. C. T.

177
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: As you're just like catatonic, lobotomized zombie like, But really

178
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: it's that's shorthand for it. There's weird memory loss. Yeah,

179
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: and these days are going to check you out a

180
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: lot more beforehand, I think, especially in the media portrayed

181
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: as you know, some like a McMurtry and one flew

182
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: over the cuckoo's nest. He's causing problems. Still just drag

183
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: him in there, strap him down and shock him. Uh.

184
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: These days you're gonna five disorder least to hold them exactly. Uh,

185
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna go through a battery of pre treatments, um

186
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: like blood test, electro cardiograms. They're gonna give you a physical,

187
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna give you a mental, and they're gonna make

188
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: sure you're a good fit all the way around for

189
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: this kind of treatment. It's you know, it's not as

190
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was willing naily back then,

191
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: but that's how it appeared to be at least, and

192
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: there was there's actually a decision by the f d A.

193
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: It's an electro convulsive therapy machine is a Class three

194
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: I believe device, just the strictest and classification. And so

195
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: it was up for reclassification for a little while, and

196
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: um they said, you know what, We're gonna stick with

197
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: this classification because it's used for electro shocks, and a

198
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: lot of people said, whoa old stuff. Yeah, you guys,

199
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: this is this is you're still looking at it under

200
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: this the medieval use from the forties and fifties. Things

201
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 1: have changed by that. But I have to say, I

202
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: mean it's I kind of am comforted by the fact

203
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: that you still have to go to a doctor. It's

204
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: not like the same thing as going for like laser

205
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: hair removal, like you can also get E C T

206
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: in the same fits. Like it's very much medicalized, and

207
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: I think it should be because we still don't understand

208
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: what the mechanisms are. Yeah, that's true. Um, they will

209
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: pulse your brain. You know, you've got these little things

210
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: about size of a quarter, these pads on the side

211
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: of your head, either on both sides or one side,

212
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: and they pulse you with for one millisecond, even though

213
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: I think recently even shorter like millisecond point to five

214
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: to point three seven milliseconds. Yeah, that's what they're starting

215
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 1: to use. And I guess that that's like is it

216
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: for more humane purposes or yeah. I think they're finding

217
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: that it works at least as well. But there's also

218
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: fewer side effects, like apparently a one millisecond pulse of

219
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: electricity is enough to like really interrupt memory, right, consolidation,

220
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: I guess, whereas like a quarter of a millisecond, it's

221
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: not so bad, all right, And these days you're gonna

222
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: get it. Two to three times a week for three

223
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: to four weeks is a typical treatment. Yeah, that's of course,

224
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: five or ten minutes at a time. Yeah, from the

225
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: time that they inject you with the the anesthesia till

226
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: the time you start to wake up is about ten minutes,

227
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: which I mean, like that doesn't sound like much. But

228
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: if you're doing that two to three times a week

229
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: for several weeks, all that that's a period of your

230
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: life that you have a lot of trouble remembering much of.

231
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a picnic still, because you're you

232
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: are still coming out of it. You're still groggy coming

233
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: out of anesthesia. You can still be confused. What's ironic

234
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: is now that they use anesthesia, you probably look more

235
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: like the portrayal of people coming out out of ect

236
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: in the fifties than they did because they were anesthecized.

237
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah they weren't. No, Yeah, that's what I mean. Today,

238
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: that's funny. I didn't think about it like that. UM.

239
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: I found one step funny, I found one stat that

240
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: said it is effective in of people these days with

241
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: severe depression, whereas any depressants are only UM effective about

242
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: sixty at the time. Yeah, and that's what's pretty much

243
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: what they're using it for. Is just like major depression

244
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: is pretty much the thing that they found, like, Okay,

245
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: it's really effective for this, Like when drugs don't work, well,

246
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: that's usually when they're turning to it. UM is after

247
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: an adepressant, after antidepressant hasn't worked. But this is like

248
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: a pretty significant rebound, a hundred thousand people a year

249
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: getting this and coming under wide medical and public acceptance UM.

250
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: Because just as as recently in the eighties, there's a

251
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: stat in this article that says between eighty five and

252
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: two thousand two, the use of ECT in England dropped

253
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: by half, and that was because there was a rose vanidepressants.

254
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: It's like, you can take these pills, or we can

255
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: put electrodes on your brain and zap you. What do

256
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: you want to do? But then as people were as physicians,

257
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: I guess we're finding that there were plenty of people

258
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: out there who don't respond well to UM antidepressants. Shock

259
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: therapy is a great alternative. And if you're if you

260
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: suffer from major depression and you are suicidal or at

261
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: risk for suicide, they may hop right to e c

262
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: T because the results are so much faster. Huh that

263
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: makes sense, I know. Well. One of the interesting things

264
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: they pointed out too, was that, um, once you've had

265
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: e c T, if drugs were not previously effective on you,

266
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: then the anti depressants can extend the good, uh, the

267
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: good effects of the e c T longer, which was

268
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: interesting because like, I guess they can work in concert

269
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: if you go e c T first, which makes it

270
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: sound like like the e c T goes in there

271
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: and like shake things loose, and then the drugs come

272
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: in and like keep their functioning going, keep the new

273
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: and improve functioning going. And we should say, like, all

274
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: this is theory. We don't no one knows specifically what

275
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: e c T does to the brain. We just know

276
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: it works. Then we should also say, no one's exactly

277
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: certain how anidipressants work, right or what effects they have

278
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: on the brain. But there's a couple of theories, um

279
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: that are kind of brain based. One is that Um.

280
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: The the idea is that the electricity UM changes how

281
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: blood flows or how cells metabolize things, and UM that

282
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: leads to some sort of improved function. Yeah. The other

283
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: one is they think it might release certain chemicals that

284
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: can help out UM, and everything I've read sort of

285
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: likens it to a like a control all delete, reset,

286
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: or like some sort of reset function on your brain.

287
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: I think they're likened it in here to turning the

288
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: stereo down, like there's just so much noise and this

289
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: just sort of resets a troubled brain, right. Yeah. There

290
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: was a study in from Scotland in two thousand twelve

291
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: where they did brain scans of people with major depression

292
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: before ect and after a round of E C T

293
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: and UM, they found that these regions associated with mood

294
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: and emotion, um, we're less active. And so they said

295
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: that they basically altered the functional connectivity of these regions

296
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: between the regions so that the person could think more clearly,

297
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: was less distracted, and they think that that had an

298
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: effect on reducing their depression. Well, and they tested with

299
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: placebo's too, and I think like anytime you test with

300
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: the placebo you're gonna find that some there's gonna be

301
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of it that works, but yeah, you know,

302
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: but not always. And that's what they found here is

303
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: that some of the people that were told that they

304
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: received e c T put under. Didn't you think this

305
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: is kind of mean? Yeah, they would put them under

306
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: and say they did it and not do it. Um.

307
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: That the people with e c T did recover UM faster,

308
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: but there were some that received the fake treatment that

309
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: did recover as well. So they think that might have

310
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: just been because they received that extra TLC from a

311
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: proper clinician and the free drugs. That's true. So UM,

312
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: we should say there are risks to it, Like there's

313
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: at least two types of memory laws associated with e

314
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: c T. UM. One is you have trouble making memories

315
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: around the appointment, UM, which is to be expected that

316
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: it usually fades. UM. Then there's larger memory loss that

317
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: of past events long before your ect therapy. UM. But

318
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: that also fades not in all people though, So there

319
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: is like memory laws associated with it. With zapping the

320
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: brain with electricity, who who would have thought? Um? And

321
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: then uh, you can also die um. One in ten

322
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: thousand patients undergoing it dies. But they they say that

323
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: that's one in ten thousand. So every year ten people

324
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: die from city in America. But they say that that's

325
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: typically a reaction to or a result of anesthesia, Like

326
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: just going on, Yeah, it's dangerous in and of itself.

327
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: You're gonna get headaches obviously, in some muscle pain. But um,

328
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it's anything quite like the

329
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: old days as far as muscle pain and stuff like that.

330
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: And you will still find people that poop who would

331
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: have worse. But this article points out a lot of

332
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: those people are the same people that are pretty anti

333
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: psychiatry in general and stuff like this. So that seems

334
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: like a bit of a leap to me. What from

335
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: the author to say that, Yeah, at least she wasn't

336
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: just like scientologists hate it. Um, you got anything else,

337
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: I got nothing else. Le've got to try this out.

338
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: I would certainly try it out if I needed it. Okay, Yeah,

339
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: we too. You know, there's something appealing to me about

340
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: using electricity over drugs. Yeah, you drugs are some great

341
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: thing to pump your body for love. Yeah, it's just

342
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I wonder if it's going to become

343
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: more and more widespread, you know, Yeah, and if it

344
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: comes back Gangbusters. Man, that's really going to be impressive

345
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: because it was almost gone. Yeah. You know, imagine if

346
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: the Little Botomy came back. Yea, I know it's still around,

347
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: but it's not back. But you know ect is back, baby,

348
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: maybe a little blood letting the leaching right. If you

349
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: want to learn more about electro convulsive therapy, type that

350
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: word in the search bar how stuff works dot com

351
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: and see if you can do it on the first try.

352
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: And since I said search bar, um, I guess it's

353
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: time for message breake mm hmm. And now listen to mail. Yes,

354
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna call this misheard song lyrics. Um oh yeah,

355
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: I can't remember which one we asked, canal okay, um,

356
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: everyone has misheard sound lyrics. Excuse me while I kissed

357
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: this guy, Jimi Hendrix wrapped up like a douche Hanford, man,

358
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: that's not what he's saying. No, it wrapped up like

359
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: a deuce, like he's talking about craps. Is he cracks

360
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: or some other sort of gambling. I don't think so.

361
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: Because Springsteen wrote the song and it was cut loose

362
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: like a deuce, and he's song about a car engine.

363
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: I've heard gambling the Springsteen wrote it and then man

364
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: for man changed it. And it's funny Springsteen has come

365
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: out and said, you know, that song didn't become popular toil.

366
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: It became about feminine hygiene and then it was like

367
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: a big deal. Or there's a bathroom on the right

368
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: CCR instead was a bad moon. Right, I hadn't heard

369
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: that one. There's a bathroom No, No, I know the song,

370
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: but I mean, like, I've never heard anybody thinking he's

371
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: saying as a bathroom on their right. It's fairly common,

372
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: all right, So we got one from Cheryl. Hey, guys,

373
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say you're still keeping

374
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: me company on days when I get time to work

375
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: on my art projects. You're still as great as ever.

376
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: I was just listening to Panama Canal and I thought

377
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: i'd popp you a quick note to give you a grin.

378
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: Misinterpreted lyrics where my specialty as a kid far and

379
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: away in My most famous moment was when I was

380
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: five or six listening to Madonna with my Auntie and

381
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: I would sing Papa dom Bridge, I'm in trouble deep.

382
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: She said, thing is this really made sense to me?

383
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: And logically, logically if the bridge is made out of

384
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: papa doms, which or do you know what those are?

385
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: It's sort of like a like a flat bread, like

386
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: a crispy tortilla, sort of, it's like a crispy flatbread.

387
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: Uh So, if a bridge was made out of papa doms,

388
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: it would be bound to be weak, and if someone

389
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: were to walk over it, they would it would break

390
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: and they fall in the river below, and hence to

391
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: be in trouble deep And my dad still teases me

392
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: about that to this day. Does make sensense soon. So yeah, Cheryl,

393
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: Papa don bridge, well done? That's fine. You mean's mom?

394
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: She's Fromoking now and she called Madonna Papa don't preach?

395
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: How calls her that? It's her name? She's like, are

396
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: you listening to Papa don't preach? Again? My friend Fox

397
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: had the best misheard song lyric ever and I was

398
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: racking my brain earlier trying to remember it and I cannot.

399
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: So there's some good every one's out there. I'll try

400
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: and I'll try and remember and posted or something. I'll

401
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: get in touch with Fox. It was a funny one.

402
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Nice you got any good ones. I'm like racking my

403
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: brain right now, and I know I've got one and

404
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: I can't remember. It looks like she does. Jerry just said,

405
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: if you did not hear instead of voices, scary by

406
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: until Tuesday men, horses scare me. Keep it down. Horses

407
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: scare me. Don't attract any horses because they scare me.

408
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: Do you know that? Technically? Uh? Until Tuesday was the

409
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: first band I ever saw alive. Oh really at my

410
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: first concert, Hall of Notes at the University of Toledo Coliseum,

411
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: they opened up on Yeah Until Tuesday opened up nice. Well.

412
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: I never really thought about that because I always say, oh,

413
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: my first concert was Cheap Trick. Yeah, I don't say

414
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: it was John Waite who opened up for Cheap Track?

415
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: Was it really John White? Yeah? Man, I would have

416
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: loved to seen that one. And those those are real concerts,

417
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: like I went to Kenny Rodgers and stuff when I

418
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: was a kid, and people like Couldey Rogers is real? Yeah?

419
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: It is about to say the same thing. I meant

420
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: concerts that my family didn't drag me too. Got that

421
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: I paid my own one for where I smelled marijuana

422
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: for the first time, like a real concert. I didn't

423
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: smell any marijuana at the hall and notates concert. Why

424
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: did a cheap drag? I was like, what is that?

425
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure I've never smelled that before in my life.

426
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: Cheap trick. And everyone around me said, that is the

427
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:30,280
