Analysis Summary:

The article's accuracy is mixed. While the claim about Max Fink's work with ECT is supported, his age at death (102) is only indirectly supported by sources mentioning the number 102. The claim about battling detractors and pop-culture depiction is supported by one source. There is a moderate bias towards portraying ECT in a positive light, potentially downplaying negative aspects.
