I know they still do partial lobotomies. There was someone in the book Noonday Demon who had one.
Are you talking about DBS as the newer surgeries? Deep Brain Stimulation? I was trying to get it on a study to have that done.
But no, I have never met anyone who had these procedures done.

> hey guys! Sorry to bring up such a weird, dark subject as lobotomy, but I'm kinda curious about it...I had to research on lobotomy and other old-school "treatments" for mental illness (insulin-coma therapy, metrazol therapy, that kind of thing) for a class. Has anyone met someone who had a lobotomy? Has anyone met someone who's had one of the newer brain surgeries they do for OCD and/or depression? Does anyone know if full-fledged lobotomies are still performed in other countries? Thanks for your time!
