My mother has Schizophrenia and she is currently in Maitland Mental Health Hospital.She has suffered with mental health issues all of her life.She has diabeties and also has a heart blockage.The Doctors have recomended she have E.C.T. but as her heart has a blockage she cannot have it until that is fixed.Can you please help me as to how i can get her on the short list because i fear that if she doesn't get the E.C.T soon her mind will be completely gone as she is going down hill fast.I am not sure any of the doctors really have a clue what they are dealing with.Please help her, as i don't know what to do, i feel so helpless....Kind Regards Brigitte

Does the facility she's in have advocates? Someone that is there to help the family, someone that can guide you to the right place?  I know here in the States, hospitals, mental health facilities, group homes,  have someone there that can help the patient or the family of a patient with these matters. I am sure if you ask around, call around, you will find someone that can help.

Good luck to you........
