When I was a kid growing up in the 50's and 60's, out neighbor's Son had been given a lobotomy because he was prone to anger outbursts and was considered uncontrollable. The sad thing is, he probably was autistic and would have more than likely responded to therapy. I remember my Dad (father was a teacher and worked with mentally challenged children) being so upset when he found out what they did to him. I use to see him walking around at night, he would just walk around the block over and over at night.

We might describe some disabilities like "with the mind of a two-year-old" or other metaphors but these people do have memories and thoughts that are similar to non-disabled people. Comparing it to dreams, you can't escape, might be more aptly. Confusing messes of information, sensations and feelings while not being able to communicate effectively with your surroundings, sounds nightmarish.

[@jenmedlock]

Thank you for this explanation. I knew the idea of a lobotomy, but seeing it explained using the real physical structures is so helpful. My husband's great uncle returned from WWII in a state of "shell shock" as it was called then. Medication and therapy wasn't nearly as developed as now and his doctor ended up giving him a lobotomy to make the symptoms go away. It worked, but unfortunately it took away nearly all of his personality. He was completely dependent on family to live with because he could not care for himself. He lived for almost 70 years post-lobotomy, first with his mother, then his sister, then his nephew, then my husband and myself. He outlived so many people that by the time he was "passed down" to my husband's dad no one knew what he was like before the war. Recently some old photos were found and we all cried happy tears to see that he had a real life before the war. He never married or had children, but he had friends and what appeared to be a girlfriend. We recognized his 93 year old denture-laden grin in the brilliant smile of the young man in the photos. In the 70s and 80s he learned to use the lawn mower and would do the neighbors' lawns for pocket money. My husband being just a little guy in the 80s would walk with his great uncle down the street to share fries and a shake. It was their weekend routine. He seemed functional because he could use the bathroom on his own and rummage in the pantry for food, but he couldn't be left alone because he would try to remember how to cook or he'd move the family sofa to the backyard and hose it off (he did that, and explained that it was dirty and needed cleaning). Though his former personality and most of his pre-war and war memories were gone, he remembered some people, I think he just knew who "his people" were and stuck with us. I wish the lobotomy hadn't been done to him, he seemed like he was an incredible guy in the photos. During his years with us he was a handful, like a preschooler in a man's body, but he was also a blessing. I'm so glad this isn't done anymore, it is unthinkable what was stolen from him. If meds and therapy were better then he could have gone on to have a real life of his own. At least he had family to keep him though, he wasn't locked away broken and alone. He was an honorary grandpa for several generations and we like to think that being with family all those years is what kept him healthy and living for so long. Long story, all to say thanks for really showing what really happened to sweet Uncle Frank.

@Daniel Kutovoy depends on the antidepressant. when i was depressed and i took one type (i cant remember which medicine) it made me more depressed and angered me quickly, it changed the way i think for the worse. you ever heard the expression "id rather feel pain then nothing at all"? it made me not feel as much emotion, so i quit taking them, and 6 months later i stopped thinking about suicide.

This is what I imagine dying from a headshot/traumatic brain injury feels like. Literally parts of the brain spinning on independently for a while, trying to interpret random noise as their usual inputs, generating outputs that go nowhere and getting progressively desynchronized as they die. Like breaking a timing belt on a running car. As opposed to >80% of ways to die, which result directly or indirectly in brain hypoxia and a very well documented set of symptoms, or death by poisons which are each a different story depending on the substance and dosage. Only that in case of lobotomy that part of the brain is just hanging in there and can't die for the rest of the life of the patient.

One of the developers of the lobotomy received a Nobel Prize for the technique. He was shot by one of his patients after one such surgery, but survived wheelchair bound. One of Joseph Kennedy's daughters was said to have received a lobotomy because she was a rebellious teenager. Following the unsuccessful surgery, she spent the remainder of her life in a mental institution. There are numerous horror stories associated with lobotomies. One involved a prominent lobotomist that encountered one of his psychiatric patients in a hysterical state and being restrained by the police. He identified himself to the police as the man's psychiatrist and with police supervision, performed a lobotomy on the spot with an ice pick. Insane behavior by psychiatrists of the era, but true.

Or perhaps this is not about the victim at all, but instead about you feeling attacked in place of this random long dead husband you know absolutely nothing about? Despite him only being mentioned in passing, you seem quite desperate to empathize with him and justify his actions, and become extremely opposed to the idea that this guy could have been anything less than utterly sympathetic. Nothing against assuming the best and not seeing malice in every action of course, but how curious is it that in assuming the best in him, you see yourself forced to assume the worst in his wife, who you know equally nothing about as a person? In your mind, there has to be someone at fault in this scenario and if it wasn't the husband doing any wrong, surely it must have been his wife being abusive and therefore bringing her predicament upon herself instead of any other of the hundreds of complex scenarios where one or both or neither partner were sympathetic that are all equally likely in this situation.

My first nursing job in 1982 was in a psychiatric hospital. One of my patients had been lobotomised in the 50s. I don't know who she was before, but afterwards she was barely anything at all.

She was absolutely a believer in it, though it had long fell out of use by the time I arrived, she believed it saved her life. ECT literally scrambles the brain's signals, which did make it useful in depression treatment before we actually had decent antidepressants..

[@cakecrumb095]

I can’t believe nobody thought about how painful or horrific this procedure was.

[@Letyourcolorsblendwithmine]

The brain has no pain receptors. At worst, it would have been VASTLY uncomfortable, immediately followed by decades of "meh".

@@tylerg7954A migraine is caused by the expansion of the blood vessels and the pressure it creates on your skull. That’s why it feels like pounding. Whenever the heart beats, it’s expanding those blood vessels.

After "Stand proud." opened up his domain, he said, "Are you "You're strong." because you are "I'm you." or are you "The one who left it all behind! And his overwhelming intensity!!" because "With this treasure I summon..."?" The Fingerer simply answered, "Nah, I'd win."

Imagine the preferential cortex detached from everything, trying to rationalise why it is still alive when as far as it knows, everything else is dead. The ammount of fear and trauma you'd experience if it was ever reattached would probably be insane

Back in high school I dated a girl whose mother was essentially lobotomized in order to save her from something else. I never really pressed for details, but meeting that woman certainly changed my outlook on life at the time.

@@James-wk5ex Not really much more to tell. She was a nice woman, but there was always a feeling while talking to her that I can only describe as an emptiness. I didn't know her when she had all her faculties, but meeting her definitely made me more appreciative of the fact I'm of relatively stable mind, and that that stability could be taken from me in a moments notice.

Basically just mad ableism/sexism. Looking at mentally ill people as never having the right to autonomy in the first place. In less sinister cases, they probably thought regulating something like bipolar disorder in an adult with this was better than nothing. But I have no idea what patients were told they were getting if they consenting to this.

medical history is very dark, including much of recent and current practice. accountability is desperately needed.

In one of my favorite shows, Bojack Horseman, Beatrice's mom had a this procedure done because she was hysterical with sadness at the loss of her son. Afterwards, she could hardly form sentences and would just stand there silently when people would talk to her. It was one of the most disturbing parts of the show

Yeah, even after the lobotomy Honey couldn't move on due to the death of his son, she told Beatrice "Promise you won't ever love anyone as much as i loved your brother". Sadly Beatrice did that promise, and never tried to love Bojack because she was afraid

My Wife had chemo for non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She had an MRI and it showed damage in the areas of the brain that controls her decision making and short term memory. She seemed to get better, then got worse. Her Doctor had her spleen taken out, and she really came back well. About 2 years after we were told she was cancer free, she started to really do strange things. It took 3 months for her to be diagnosed with dementia. I wonder if the part of the brain that was damaged and the part that just doesn't connect are anywhere near each other? It tears me up so bad that she fought her way through all the crap, and we ended up like this. Some days she just sits and looks at nothing. I know she is in there somewhere, but I can't reach her. The idea of having a grave is not something either of us wanted. Seemed kind of silly to waste all that money. We both have made arrangements to leave our bodies to medical science. I wish there was someway to tell the Med students and doctors what we had, and what was done to our bodies. Thank you for your time.

[@cosmoplakat9549]

I highly recommend the film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", released in 1975 and winner of the "Big 5" Academy Awards. It was adapted from the novel by Ken Kesey, written in 1959 and published in 1962. Though a work of fiction, Kesey wrote it based on his experiences as an orderly in a mental hospital where he witnessed the many, many horrors of psychiatric "treatment" of the times.
