Lynne, never mind about the 'chemical lobotomies'. I used to visit my uncle John in Whittingham Mental Hospital, he was a tall man with a pre-frontal lobotomy that made him look like Frankenstein's monster. They gave him electric shock treatment too. All I remember is this gentle giant who'd never been the same since the war. Even back in the seventies I thought that councelling a patient's mental health issues with a scalpel was just plain wrong.
