> Psychosurgery "helps" only by damaging the brain, by destroying the very organ that makes us all human. Yes, it is an option, but I think it is one we would all do well to shun. Patients should not be given brain damage as "treatment," and no ethical physician should mutilate his patients' brains in search of a "cure".
>There are cases of epilepsy that are only helped by Psychosurgery. Damage is relative; esp. when the part of the brain is destroyed which is causing the seizures.
