“Shock” Therapy? The Truth About Interventional Psychiatry Let’s talk about it. When people hear “shock therapy,” fear and stigma usually follow. But what’s the truth? This week on Journey to Joy Live, I’m breaking down what interventional psychiatry really is — and what it isn’t. In this episode, we unpack: -The difference between Hollywood myths and modern medicine -What treatments like ECT and other interventional approaches actually involve -When these options are considered — and why -How they can restore quality of life when other treatments haven’t worked Psychiatry isn’t about extremes. It’s about evidence, safety, and helping people reclaim their lives.
