Most people asked would be unaware that lobotomy is still practiced in todays psychiatry.<p>They would think that it was something that only happened in mental asylums and mental hospitals in England a few hundred years ago.<p>It is a requirement of psychotherapy training that you spend time in psychiatric wards.<p>I was so shocked to learn that brain surgery (NMD, Neurosurgery for mental disorder ) and electric shock treatement (ECT, Electroconvulsive therapy) were so prevalent.<p>We still use these horrific treatment to manage those with psychiatric disorders.<p>Do we really want to praise some frankenstein scientist for leading the way to remove parts of someone's brain.<p>I saw people who had endured these treatments.<p>Hey Antonio. let me pop round your house and give you some ECT to see how you like it.<p>It just goes to prove that psychiatry still has no real understanding of the brain even after hundreds of years.<p>Quack muppets!
