That's the one called a frontal lobotomy.
(and... I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy!
)
There is still absolutely no real evidence that ECT (yes, eletroconvulsive therapy) does work.
I know a chap who is bipolar and was given ECT. He doesn't think the shocks did him any good - but that the anaesthetic gave him some decent sleep, which helped for a little while.
He's still unmedicated in any official way and he's a complete loose cannon who cannot cope with life or work or people (or without self-medicating with illegal drugs) at all.
