Paris Jackson says she has undergone electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) after going through what she describes as a “conveyor belt of medications.” In accounts shared by the outlets, Jackson says she felt she had “tried everything” before turning to ECT and that a psychiatrist told her the procedure is “not as barbaric as it used to be.”
The reporting provides limited additional clinical detail, and it focuses primarily on Jackson’s personal description of the treatment rather than on broader medical discussion. Both sources present the same core points: Jackson’s account of trying medication first, her decision to pursue ECT, and her psychiatrist’s reassurance about how modern ECT differs from past perceptions.
No outlet in the provided material specifies the timeline of treatment, the condition being treated, or ECT’s specific course or outcomes. The emphasis remains on Jackson’s statement about medication efforts preceding ECT and the contemporary framing of the therapy.
