Dr. Jon C Bowar, MD - Reviews

Pushes Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). I think that was all he cared about and where he makes his money. I was basically forced after the first horrible treatment to do 4 more until I read my patient rights. ECT is not a cure. It is a maintenance treatment that has side affects I would consider googling. I suffered memory loss, fear of hospitals, bad anxiety going to Dr's now. The most horrible experience I have gone through under a Dr.'s care. I found this statement online that clearly sums it up;When you induce a grand mal convulsion by sending 100-plus volts of electricity in the brain, you're going to create damage," says Dr. John Breeding, an Austin, Texas-based psychologist and self-described ECT abolitionist. "This is most easily seen with memory loss that many patients experience. You're talking major voltage directly into the temporal lobes of the brain. And the data is very clear that there's close to a 100 percent relapse rate, which means patients have to keep coming back and suffer further brain damage. This is referred to as 'maintenance ECT,' rather than as a failed treatment, which is what it really is."
