Can you ever justify neuro surgery for psychological problems? I spoke to someone a while ago he was a boomer psychiatrist. He said he still swore by lobotomies for a last resort in certain mental illnesses. As terrified as I was I wondered about removing other parts of the brain to treat illnesses like add. Things like removing areas responsible for surprise and excitement could be treatment for conduct disorders. With modern technologies like a brain computer interface we can highlight areas of the brain with emotions.
