Appreciate the opinions :) what scares me most is that if psychiatrists are scared to examine this properly that's a huge indictment against the industry.
If there is a held belief that makes you uncomfortable the only real scientific response is to lean in and understand it.
I get that ECT has helped many and I can't even imagine how it might help, but that's no reason to avoid understanding its therapeutic benefit separate to anaesthetic alone.

Australia had an issue with one of our public trusts (which can take over financial custodianship when no alternative is available)... They were, in my opinion, unethically billing them which one might interpret as theft...
Mental capacity is a huge issue even before multiple personalities enter the fray. If I had better answers I might try to complain louder.

The biggest thing that strikes me here is the problem of serving multiple masters.
There are two identities in the hermit and the giant and it's morally complex to try and serve both, especially if those interests are competing...
A similar debate occurs in treatments where the interests of a mother and unborn baby don't align, and are probably similar again for multiple personalities...
Another fascinating one is that psychiatrists can serve the interests of the state/community (harm prevention) or the interests of the patient...
As far as I know any legal principles in this domain, where there is a physical codependency, are at best grey. Does consent need to be unanimous or is majority rule ok? Can some entities be disenfranchised through mental fitness, are these thresholds different from a single entity? If the principle of integration of multiple personalities within one physical entity is seen as morally sound does that have implications for the treatment chosen for a person (or parts of a person) given they need to integrate with society writ large?
Another area I haven't looked at but would have some bearing is conjoined twins, especially situations where separation is impossible (physically, ethically, or both)?
If a healer chooses to bear guilt beyond what society asks they do I think it's a personal decision, if they've fulfilled their duties to the best of their ability, and society has deemed them capable of executing those duties based on a reasonable burden of information what more can we ask for?

Curious what your thoughts are about ECT, ketamine and propofol?
Ketamine and propofol have both been shown to offer some benefit to patients suffering from depression independent of inducing seizures...
But I'm yet to run into a study that tries to isolate the medical benefit of inducing seizures relative to the anaesthetic alone, and the fact that it hasn't been systematically analysed scares the crap out of me.
If you don't want to comment for professional reasons I understand.

Reply to Happy new year! I’m building a hobby discovery tool for people wanting to pick up a new hobby. I thought you all might enjoy the page for shoe shining! What other hobbies would you like to see? by TheJMoore
When I paginate through all hobbies
Forward is labelled "More hobbies" Backwards is labelled "More hobbies"
There is also no sort order? Are you prioritising hobbies with affiliate links as j think I've seen longer lists on other websites?
Also, it's kind of annoying that if the text waits for the image to load as it means I cant quickly scan each page when going through all hobbies.
