Stressed teachers at a chain of academies are being offered electric shock therapy to combat anxiety and depression. School bosses have successfully tested the device and are now offering the treatment at seven secondary schools, seven primary schools and a special educational needs school in Kent. Now it is being used in primary and secondary schools to help teachers cope with what is recognised as a nationwide problem. Already used by the British Army and US military to treat post traumatic stress the gadget works by stimulating the brain with a mild shock. After running a pilot scheme, the Leigh Academies Trust say the device has had a positive impact on levels of anxiety, depression and sleep disorder - all symptoms of stress among its staff.
