I’m reminded of this article. There are very rarely placebo surgeries done, so it is an entire arm of medicine that is running wild without proper controls being done.

If you’ve had a lobotomy surgery, you have a huge tendency to believe it maybe did something positive. An interesting study would have been just tell people that they had a lobotomy. If I had to guess, I bet the success rate would be much higher that actual lobotomy.
