I plan to contribute to the electroconvulsive therapy article. The article heavily focuses on the United States and pays some attention to the United Kingdom, and nothing else. I intend to create a more international scope of the topic by including studies from Australia and Canada. I will be relying primarily on the following sources:

A study was done in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia to determine the best practices for ECT, and suggestions for improving the process and credibility of the procedure. As a side note, the study found that voluntary ECT patients were more likely to have a depressive disorder diagnosis, while involuntary ECT patients were more likely to have a non-mood disorder diagnosis. In-depth interviews with nine Canadian women highlight the perceptions and realities of ECT. The study relies on qualitative research to develop its hypotheses.
