Transorbital Lobotomy

Used heavily in the 1930s, lobotomy’s were given to people suffering from schizophrenia. Two ‘ice-picks’ were inserted into the brain (with a hammer) via the eye sockets and used to server connections between frontal lobes of the brain.
Patients that underwent lobotomies were reported as ‘child-like’ and ‘incapable of speaking’.
“The woman could not feed herself, she could not toilet, she could not speak and she was combative.”

In 1949 Egas Moniz (creator of the lobotomy) was awarded the nobel prize for medicine.

Learning about all this is psychology, humans can be so barbaric.
