It sure did. Troublesome patients got an ice pick through the brain, immediately stopped making trouble and spent the rest of their days staring into a wall.
The practice was eventually abandoned due to concerns about the side effects.

That would be called a "lobotomy," which is a surgical procedure where the frontal lobes of the brain are cut or separated from the rest of the brain. It was used in the past to treat various psychiatric and behavioral disorders, but is now considered unethical and outdated.

There is no concrete evidence to suggest that Tennessee Williams signed any papers for his sister Rose to have a frontal lobotomy. While Tennessee did support Rose's medical care, the decision for her lobotomy was made by their mother, Edwina Williams, without Tennessee's direct involvement. Rose's lobotomy took place in 1943, and it had a significant impact on her mental health and well-being.

i do not have an answer as to why you are getting pain in the side of your neck. it could be anything from a pulled muscle to a pinched nerve to a problem with your spine. BUT a lobotomy would NOT be a treatment for it. a lobotomy is where they remove part of the frontal lobe of your brain to stop mental illnesses and is rarely done anymore.
A lobotomy is a surgical procedure in which part of the frontal lobe of the brain is removed. This procedure was once used in severe mentally ill patients that did not respond to other treatments such as shock therapy. With today's modern medicine, there is no longer a need for this procedure.

No. A lobotomy is an operation on the brain, and a lobotomy is extremely dangerous.
Lobotomy was a popular "cure" for the mental illness, in the mid-twentieth century. Moniz and Freeman are usually credited with inventing the lobotomy in the 1930s, however their work were based on many other people's research going back to the mid-nineteenth century.
