I think the problem is that a lot of people don't realize what desperation feels like... I read about someone who was partially paralyzed, and underwent "bee sting" therapy to regain some mobility. She swore it worked... If I was in a situation like the seizures, and nothing else had worked, but then I heard about a new technique that MIGHT work, I'd try it, no matter how painful... That hope is what keeps a lot of people alive!

I'm going to assume you're being facitious, because the other option is that you're being stupid. You do realize that you just said that exploring a building is as bad as vandalizing it, correct? What about photographing it?

Well, I hate to point out the obvious, but you can always "buy" one if you want to "play" with it... I'd be worried about the chemicals you might be inhaling though. I'd imagine they would be reasonably safe, but who knows?

Thanks for sharing, dee dee. I'm glad that you overcame a lot, and that you are doing well now!

Thank you very much for sharing these intensely thought-provoking images. I saw the film "Session 9" & it brought back the memories of the fear I felt growing up in Beverly (city next to Danvers) as I was always in awe of DSH. It was like an accident you couldn't look away from--right in my own back yard. At the same time, my heart went out to the people within those walls who had no choice. I'm extremely disgusted with Avalon Bay for their heartless & greedy destruction of such a historical landmark. I believe this is a desecration to the people who were so horribly abused there. If anything, DSH should become a memorial/museum for those tortured souls. The unspeakable things that went on in that place should NEVER be forgotten & most certainly, NEVER be repeated. Is there anything, ANYTHING at all we as a community can do to stop this injustice?

Now we know where they got the workers for the Big Dig.

Yes, the bed does look suprisingly comfortable. Nice and firm. I guess it all depends on what "sleep number" you are.

My friends and i walked down there at like 2 am and wandered through the hallways of that hospital. it was pitch black. and i mean PITCH BLACK.

Yes, the woman remains trapped behind the glass barrier, as sanity is trapped in her mind, while the world around her decays and peels away.

Chip the paint off from the right side of the bunny. I bet the fricking thing is flipping us off.

This picture is fanatical.

You may need to be registered at MedScape to see the following articles. If so, let me know and I can e-mail them. I took out a few lines from each study I pulled up. Doesn't mean I agree or disagree with these articles - they are just the first research articles I pulled up. The research seems to suggest that ECT is useful for people with intractable depression when everything else has failed, and less helpful for schizophrenia unless it is actually a schizoaffective disorder:

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/450436
"Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is more effective than medications for the treatment of depression, according to the results of a meta-analysis published in the March 8 issue of The Lancet. Bilateral ECT was better than unilateral ECT, and high-dose was better than low dose."

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/523771
"ECT can restore quality of life to people devastated by severe depression. Study leader W. Vaughn McCall, MD, leads the department of psychiatry and behavioral medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine."

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/524769
"Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is associated with improved health-related quality of life (HRQOL), primarily from improvements in depression symptoms, which lasts for at least 6 months, results of a new study suggest."

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/485024
"The evidence in this review suggests that ECT, combined with treatment with antipsychotic drugs, may be considered an option for people with schizophrenia, particularly when rapid global improvement and reduction of symptoms is desired. This is also the case for those with schizophrenia who show limited response to medication alone. Even though this initial beneficial effect may not last beyond the short term, there is no clear evidence to refute its use for people with schizophrenia. The research base for the use of ECT in people with schizophrenia continues to expand, but even after more than five decades of clinical use, there remain many unanswered questions regarding its role in the management of people with schizophrenia."

"Data analyzed suggest that ECT is a valid therapeutic tool for treatment of depression, including severe and resistant forms."

true joe...but exploring the history of these places is just as bas as vanadlizing it.

their both illegal :)

I vote for PETA. I knew those people were crazy!
