What’s the difference? Both remove our personality. Lobotomy doesn’t cause negative symptoms at the cost of a permanent treatment and anyways they might not find a better treatment even after 100+years.
Are you serious?
Have you seen footage of lobotomy patients?
They are not okay.
Negative symptoms wouldn’t even matter because you’re so damaged.

Idk I saw them on Youtube being able to play chess after lobotomy.
Meds alter the function of your brain while you’re on them, and perhaps mildly afterward depending on the med and the duration you’re on them. Most of the changes are regarded as beneficial and improve the lives of most who take them.
Lobotomies permanently destroy brain tissue and are regarded as barbaric, inhumane treatments because of how they crippled those subjected to them. Former practitioners of this are viewed in the same light as Nazi physicians now.
I’m gobsmacked you would compare the two.

Meds make me a zombie, maybe lobotomy is more zombie like.

Lobotomy Is so antiquated.
Do they still do them in your country?
Meds replaced them long ago.
I’m pretty sure lobotomy’s are outlawed.
Why would you bring up lobotomy?
They were barbaric.
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!

Maybe bcz I am desperate and tried stopping meds yesterday? I cut the pill in half, took first half at midnight, went to sleep, woke up at 3AM and took the other half.
I am not social, I don’t even talk to my psychiatrist, my apt lasts 5 min max. I don’t feel comfortable talking about myself bcz I don’t have a self.
Why would you mess with your meds?
This is never a good idea.
Do you want to end up institutionalized?
Get back on track with your meds.

Hey Aziz, I’m sorry you are suffering. Ive been where you are, and as much as it sucks to say, you’re going to have to force yourself to do something to get out of your rutt. It seems impossible, but it can be done. Just do something small and build on it. Brighter days lie ahead my friend.
I was reading an op-ed comparing psychotropic meds to lobotmies, and their opinion was very biased and not up to date with current research. At the end of the day scrambling someone’s frontal lobe is considerably worse than the use of pharmacology.

I have tried for 10 years with no improvement.
I need a miracle.
One second you are so pro meds everything else is a lie, the next second you’re comparing meds to a lobotomy. Are you keeping track of these changes? It seems like something that’s worth tracking.
