      @@senthilnathan2k not really, kinda, and yes. SSRIs just cause serotonin to build up and this is usually somewhat stimulating, but over time, your brain adjusts to this by decreasing the amount of serotonin receptors. Damaging, yes, but nowhere near lobotomization. Benzos agonize GABA-A receptors, and the GABA produced as a result causes some CNS depression, but your entire brain is still able to communicate with itself, just at a slightly slower rate, and emotions may be blunted at inappropriate doses or without tolerance. Withdrawal injury is the biggest concern for these, and even while active, they don't come close to lobotomy despite sharing some acute similarities. Antipsychotics on the other hand, well, those might even be worse than lobotomies; mechanistically, they directly inhibit dopamine receptors in the prefrontal cortex, which greatly interferes with decision-making and causes permanent brain damage by forcing your brain to grow more dopamine receptors, which are so excitable that they can induce psychosis, which then damages other areas of the brain and makes you more susceptible to psychosis in the future. When the antipsychotic is discontinued, psychosis also occurs as a withdrawal symptom. A huge part of this is also their H1 inhibition and, in the case of atypicals, serotonin receptor inhibition (not to be confused with reuptake inhibition). Some are also A2a adrenergic receptor agonists, so chronic use could also destroy your heart function. Antipsychotics worsen every condition they're used for treating when used chronically because of their mechanism's ability to cause cycles of damage, and are undoubtedly the most similar to lobotomies, but may be even worse for your overall health than getting the ol' ice pick treatment.

    It's unbelievable what Walter Freeman did. I recall reading that he would do demonstrations from time to time, like once where with the help of assistants holding the ice picks, he lobotamized two patients at the same time with a striking tool in each hand IIRC.
    Writing that now seems hard to believe, so if anyone eecalls the same fact, please let me know.
    It definitely was not a procedure that had the precision or could expect consistent execution to be used safely. Think of differences in anatomy from individual to individual... face shapes, relative distance and positions of eyes and brain, the thickness/resistance of the meninges encasing the brain. This would all mean different angles and required strength of the hammer blow(s) to penetrate to the correct spot at the correct depth from one person to the next, and the "surgeon" just wouldn't have the ability to perceive these different factors, nor the ability to capture them with adjustments to the tools or striking force, etc. It would be so easy to apply too much force and go too deep, or have slippage/deflection and end up ablating the wrong part of the brain. Any reasonable analysis should have determined it to be absurd.

    This June 6th (6/6) I started having extreme synchronicities around a song I'd listened to (and that released) exactly 2 years, 16 weeks, and 6 days prior. 216, 6th cube number, 6x6x6 and 6 days. Ordinal gematria of "lobotomy" = 117, the 9th pentagonal number. Started seeing 117 everywhere, was all tied to white and black (light and dark, ie refusal of the return to grey, by mixing them, which is a line in the song "I wouldn't know my place, a twisted play in grey"). However that isn't the point of this comment, least not directly. The real point is that 22/7 is the smallest fractional approximation of pi, the "humor" in that lobotomy = 117, or 11/7, ie 1/2 pi, half a circle, is not lost on me. The full circle was cut in half. It keeps trying to bring me back to grey one way or another, which is how I got here to begin with. Via a 303 within the grey, I left it, became apart from it, escaped it. Now it's trying to drag me back through the gateway (303) and into grey. An eclipse is also white and black. Eclipse is over, it wants to merge them, and I keep refusing.
    This is seriously how reality "thinks". I had to jump start my car at 3:17 PM, 317 66th prime. Someone calls me to help them replace their broken door handle (the door, go through the door) and they had bought a handle for 66$ but I couldn't install it because it was a pentagonal rod and didn't match the square latch. So I had to mix some JB weld, white and black, into grey, and repair the old door. This is all on 6/6. A twisted play in grey, I was shown, albeit in hypersymbolic terms, what I was doing in realtime. I still don't entirely understand it.

    I wonder if the broader use of antipsychotics for mild conditions will be looked at similarly. A lot of autistic people are given antipsychotics to make them seem conformed, not necessarily to make them feel better. The anhedonia, a side effect, is actually an effect when you look up how studies praise antipsychotics’ efficacy in treating “unusual and repetitive interests” in autistic people. And bipolar is perhaps over-diagnosed, and many of the symptoms (higher sex drive (which may as well mean “for a woman”), needing less sleep, animated personality, etc.) seem like an easy way to make sexual and sedation-related side effects look like the meds doing their job. Even the loss of intelligence and creative spontaneity some people get on them could invite accusations of delusions of grandeur, warranting higher doses.
    So many brilliant minds are at risk. I swear many psychiatrists see their job as eliminating any behavior they believe shouldn’t exist, or personally don’t like, and hide behind the fact that these personality traits can be construed as symptoms of mental disorders.
    Another med I’m really concerned about is Topiramate/topamax.

    I've been through hell and back, but now that the anger has subsided, I still believe there is something to be said for limbic leucotomy, for example. The crux of the matter, to me, is diagnosis. No one is going to be terribly happy to find they've received chemotherapy for a cancer they never had in the first place. With the stroke of a pen, Robert Spitzer created a world where people with reactive neurosis are likely to receive hardcore neuroleptics, and people with endogenous melancholia are so confusing to clinicians that they are often diagnosed with personality disorders and receive no drug treatment.
    If Thomas Kuhn was right, good science must have a paradigm, a model, even if the model isn't perfect, like Newtonian physics. Manic depressive insanity, melancholia-these are good and useful models. Like Newtonian physics, they allow us to do a lot of predictive work. Spitzer's major depression is little more than neurasthenia, hysteria, or the vapours, and SSRIs are little more than modern-day theriac. It's no wonder everyone is being injured and traumatized. In doing so, with the stroke of his pen, Robert Spitzer cast psychiatry into a pre-paradigm scientific state. Evidence-based medicine is attempting to enforce Karl Popper's theory of scientific discovery onto doctors. This would be like barring your mechanic from using experience when fixing your car and instead forcing them to use bizarre statistical algorithms to diagnose common car problems. This would be disastrous for your car and is disastrous for your health.
    I think this disastrous approach to psychiatry is the defining issue of our times, surpassing even the problems caused by the pharmaceutical industry. Just like in the time of humoral medicine, quack drug treatments are able to thrive precisely because of this weak nosology. Nothing suits pharmaceutical companies more than us all having "a touch of the vapours." The misguided application of evidence-based medicine, coupled with a flimsy diagnostic framework, creates an environment where ineffective and harmful treatments flourish, much to the detriment of genuine scientific progress and patient well-being. It's no different from medicine in the dark ages. We don't conclude that epilepsy doesn't exist or that there are no effective treatments simply because trepanning was once used.
    In a world where paradigms are essential for progress, Spitzer's broad and vague category of major depression fails to provide the clarity and precision needed for effective treatment. It leads to a scattergun approach, where powerful medications are dispensed without a solid understanding of the underlying condition, causing more harm than good. The need for a coherent and accurate diagnostic model in psychiatry has never been more urgent, as the current trajectory only deepens the crisis in mental health care.
