New York State’s Office of Mental Health (OMH) aggressively pursued obtaining a court order to give Simone D. forced electroshock over her expressed wishes.
Simone D. had clearly said electroshock caused her pain and suffering. She knew what she was talking about. Simone D. had previously had 200 electroshocks.
Making it worse, Simone D. speaks only Spanish, but for years she's been denied counseling or even staff fluent in Spanish, except for a few week period.
Today, Simone D.'s attorneys announced that she won!
This morning a court ruled that the two-year-old order to give her forced electroshock had been set aside.
