"Her mother committed a teenaged Michelle to a Dallas mental hospital, where she endured electroshock therapy. Was later committed to an institution in San Francisco, for a grand total of five weeks. "

"When Shocked was just 16, she ran away from her oppressive home in East Texas. She spent many years living on the edge of homelessness and squatting in abandoned buildings in New York and San Francisco. At one point, Shocked's mother wrongly committed her to a mental institution, where Shocked was forced to undergo shock therapy -- hence, her stage name. "
No one comes out and says it in my google search, but from the sounds of the various articles, she had just dropped out of college, was acting up, and her mom had her committed because she didn't understand her. She went through a brief stint of shock therapy before the insurance ran out and she was released. But, this is pretty much speculation on my part, from what I was able to gather in the articles.
