    If you survive a gunshot to head it’s typically because it hit your frontal lobe / lobes which are to some degree expendable. So you basically have a frontal lobectomy which yeah, it’s an effective treatment for depression. There are some side effects however.

      Lobotomy is NOT an effective treatment for depression, anymore than a death is a treatment for depression, or whatever.

          I don’t think so. It’s a disgusting practice, and the guys that started it didn’t have a fucking clue what they were doing, (and won the nobel prize for it.) They cut a hole then took an ice cream scoop and randomly scooped a bit out.

          Like if you break your arm, would you say that an effective way to treat a broken arm to to amputate it? Fixing it implies a better outcome, not a worse one.
