A Montreal psychiatrist administers electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to a patient with debilitating depression and counsels a woman with psychosis. A doctor in St. John’s examines a long-time patient whose aggressive skin cancer has required major facial reconstruction. In Vancouver, a doctor tends to an immigrant family from Iraq whose elderly mother is suffering from PTSD.
