How Do You Make a Crazy Person Sane?
Question by x: How do you make a crazy person sane?
From Wikipedia: Insulin shock therapy (also called Insulin Coma Therapy) was used as a treatment for schizophrenia, psychosis and drug addiction, involving injecting the patient with massive amounts of insulin, which causes convulsions and coma. It was developed by Polish researcher Manfred Sakel in 1933 and was used well into the 1950s, being replaced by tranquilizing drugs and then later anti-psychotic drugs as well (which also have a sedative effect.) This form of shock treatment, along with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), derived from the notion (later disproved) that epileptic convulsions and schizophrenic symptoms were never present at the same time in one patient. Methods of administering the treatment varied and there was no precise way of doing it.
The procedure involved giving the patient increasingly large doses of insulin, which reduced the blood sugar and brought on a coma. The procedure was terminated w/ glucose.
We diabetics must be very sane. Comments?
Dear VERBal, apparently it must have been successfrul. It was used from 1933 into the 1950’s. My sister was bipolar schizophrenic. They tried electroshock therapy and anti-depressants on her to no avail. She eventually committed suicide. I wish I’d known about the insulin therapy back when she was alive. Maybe it could have helped her. Heck, insulin keeps me sane (sort of).
