Shocked

Depression stole her joy. Electroconvulsive therapy erased her memories. Anorexia, OCD, Anxiety Disorder, and Bipolar Depression waged war on her body and mind. But through it all, she fought to reclaim her life.

In "Shocked," a raw and powerful memoir, Lisa Conway shares her journey through over 100 shock treatments, the depths of despair, and the unexpected sources of healing that led her back to herself. With the unwavering support of her service dog - her lifeline in moments of disorientation - and the rhythmic solace of running, she discovered resilience, confidence, and a community that lifted her up.

More than a memoir, this book is a call to action - exposing the truth about ECT's lasting harm while doctors say it is "safe and effective." Honest, heartbreaking, and ultimately inspiring, it is a testament to the human spirit's ability to rise from darkness into light.
