An old medical procedure where they stick a metal rod above ur eye, crack ur eye socket and then dig around in ur brain. This was claimed to fix mental illnesses and autistic people's brains. As you can imagine the death rate was high, and it obviously did not work. It was discontinued a looong time ago because we realized it was stupid.
A lobotomy, also known as leucotomy, is a neurosurgical procedure that was once used as a radical and controversial treatment for a variety of severe psychiatric conditions. The procedure's underlying concept was to disrupt neural pathways in the brain, specifically targeting the prefrontal cortex, which was thought to be responsible for a range of emotional, behavioral, and cognitive disturbances in mental illnesses like schizophrenia, major depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The technique was pioneered in the late 1930s by Portuguese neurologist António Egas Moniz, who developed what he termed the "prefrontal leucotomy." His approach involved drilling holes into the skull to access the brain's frontal lobes, where he would then sever the white matter tracts (leucotomy) connecting the frontal lobes to the thalamus, hypothesized to modulate emotional expression and behavior. Moniz believed that this would relieve the debilitating symptoms of mental illness by disrupting the circuits that allowed pathological emotions and thoughts to dominate the patient's psyche. The procedure gained widespread popularity after American psychiatrist Walter Freeman and neurosurgeon James W. Watts introduced the *transorbital lobotomy* in the 1940s. Freeman's version of the lobotomy was notably more aggressive and much less invasive, at least in terms of avoiding traditional surgical methods. Freeman's transorbital lobotomy involved inserting a thin metal pick (often described as resembling an ice pick) through the patient's eye socket, piercing the thin bone at the top of the orbit, and entering the frontal lobe of the brain. Using a mallet, Freeman would then forcefully move the pick side to side, cutting the neural fibers connecting the frontal lobes to the deeper brain structures such as the limbic system and thalamus. This method allowed for lobotomies to be performed outside of a surgical setting, without the need for anesthesia beyond electroconvulsive shock, making it far more accessible and, consequently, overused in institutional settings. Freeman, who became the most famous advocate for the procedure, performed thousands of lobotomies, often with little regard for the specific diagnosis or prognosis of the patient. He believed that lobotomies could cure a wide range of conditions, including depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, chronic anxiety, and even behavioral issues like unruliness and aggression. However, the effects of lobotomy were far from uniformly positive. While some patients exhibited reduced symptoms of psychosis or severe mood disorders, these changes often came at the cost of severe cognitive, emotional, and personality impairments. Patients frequently became apathetic, emotionally blunted, or even incontinent and unable to care for themselves. In some cases, lobotomy resulted in death due to complications from the surgery. In others, it left patients in a semi-vegetative state or with profound cognitive disabilities. By the 1950s, with the advent of psychotropic medications such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), the use of lobotomy rapidly declined. The rise of pharmacological treatments for mental illness, which could more precisely target neurotransmitter imbalances, provided a less invasive and more controlled approach to managing psychiatric symptoms. The long-term harm and ethical issues surrounding lobotomy procedures became increasingly apparent, leading to its abandonment in most of the medical community. Over time, the lobotomy came to be viewed not just as an outdated procedure, but as a cautionary tale of how misguided medical practices could lead to severe harm under the guise of treatment. While lobotomies are no longer performed today, the procedure had a significant impact on the history of psychiatry and neurosurgery. Its legacy is one of both scientific innovation and profound medical and ethical controversy, highlighting the importance of rigorous, evidence-based approaches to treatment and the protection of patient rights and dignity in medical care.
super old brain surgery for mentally ill patients usually used to treat anxiety and depression. it involved opening the patients head and removing a part of the brain so they didn't feel that extreme emotion anymore. basically instead of treating depression they just removed the part of the brain that made u sad. it didn't have the best results, i believe victims of lobotomies basically acted like they were high all the time. stupid and in a daze. I guess it worked tho technically cause they were indeed happier. I think. anyway, glad we don't do that anymore
@@iamafanofmanythings3973they didn’t act high all the time they were just devoid of any real emotion, most of them ended up completely dependent on others just to survive because they had the mentality of a child. Plus a lot of them became aggressive/ developed new symptoms rather than getting any better
