LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) International, a mental health industry watchdog, strongly rejects a recent joint statement by the World, European, and American psychiatric associations that advocates the use of electroshock treatment on children.[1] CCHR warns that with children as young as five already subjected to electroshock in the U.S., such calls represent a dangerous step and a violation of human rights.
