i think we're really quick to gloss over the implications of tenna having electro shock therapy in his life. of course, i realize that tricky tony probably just included it to be funny, but in practice ECT is used to treat a lot of different brain-related issues. practitioners use medically controlled seizures to treat things like bipolar, mania, major depressive disorder, some psychotic disorders and other brain conditions like catatonia. it's also done on a consistent schedule, about two or three times a week depending on patient conditions. however, because of how ECT works, its only used when literally anything else fails. medication? cognitive behavioral therapy? other treatment methods? ECT is a last result because scientists dont exactly know why it works so well and it comes with some minor risks to patient health. however, those risks aside, ECT is very good at fixing problems in the brain for some reason.
knowing this, what was the thing that FUCKED him UP so HARD that he started using ECT?????? i'm sure it's probably whatever depression the guy has developed from being a man child caught in the middle of a nasty divorce and also spamton but like which thing did him in?????? and how long as he been doing ECT??? more importantly, is it or is it not working?! i think its scarier to conclude that it has worked and that the version of tenna we see now is him with effective treatment because it implies a version of himself and his mental health that is ASTRONOMICALLY WORSE. how fucking bad was his attachment issues when working with spamton??? his depression???? HOW FAR GONE WAS HE, TOBY FOX????
