Text within the poster image reads: “Are you depressed? One Instagram post (archived) sharing the image gathered more than 310,000 “likes.”Many accounts sharing the poster use it to discredit modern scientific consensus. The ad, however, was created by an enamel pin company making accessories inspired by horror and cult films. Demonic Pinfestation confirmed by email that it created the graphic to advertise an illustrated lobotomy pin, the central image in the promo circulated online, and shared separate images of the design. U.S. enamel pin business created the faux advertisement for lobotomy to promote its enamel pin product.

☆ Why doctors used to think drilling into people's skulls could treat mental illness
  + stars: | 2023-06-17 | by ( Carla Delgado | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Lobotomies used to be a horrific way that doctors tried to treat patients with mental illness. Different doctors performed lobotomies differently, but one of the primary approaches was to drill a hole in the side of the skull to access the brain. Doctors thought that severing certain connections in the brain could help treat mental illness. By the 1950s, lobotomies were on their way out, but not before doctors performed over 40,000 of them in the US alone. A drill, shown on the right, is cranked by hand to help doctors access the patient's brain.
