Russia approves new depression treatment standards including electroshock therapy
Original: На России решили лечить депрессию токами крайне высокой частоты, гипоксией и электросудорожной терапией 🔹 Такой стандарт
Russia's Health Ministry, under Minister Mikhail Murashko, has approved a new standard of care for depression that includes extremely high-frequency current therapy, hypoxia treatment and electroconvulsive therapy. The order also provides for dispensary observation of patients with depression. The measure is being circulated alongside commentary noting the reliance on Soviet-era physical therapies rather than modern pharmacological approaches, drawing criticism and mockery from critics of Russian health policy.
Why now: People are reacting to the unusually old-fashioned and controversial methods now officially sanctioned for treating depression in Russia.
