Have you ever heard of a lobotomy reversal? Is it possible?

Issue
It could also be chemical lobotomy reversal.
Please, no jokes......

Best Tip

Lobotomy involves cutting nerves. You can't reverse that.

I don't know what a "chemical lobotomy" is, but I would assume that discontinuation of medication should result in a reversal of effects. Source(s): I'm a doctor.

Others
No, and No
No, I don't think it can be reversed. Do they still even do those?
A surgical lobotomy can NOT be reversed, since it was done by cutting one or more nerve tracts.

As to a Chemical Lobotomy, from Tips.com:

"The first antipsychotic was chlorpromazine, which was developed as a surgical anesthetic. It was first used on psychiatric patients in the belief that it would have a calming effect. However, the drug soon appeared to reduce psychosis beyond this calming effect, and now some believe that it causes a reduction of psychosis unrelated to the sedating effect of the medication. It was introduced for the treatment of psychosis during the period when lobotomy was a common treatment and was hailed as a "cure" for schizophrenia. It was then touted to provide a "chemical lobotomy," causing similar neurological effects without requiring surgery."

Obviously, once the chemical (medicine) is stopped, the effects will reverse themselves. However, since the medicine was/is being used to help "cure" a serious psychiatric condition, this may not be a GOOD thing! Hopefully, in this case, other, less severe drugs could be administered to help cure the situation.

Hope this explains what you need to know.

Lobotomies are no longer performed. They are permanent ! Way back when they would punch a hole in the skull of the victim and swish around a rod, hence permanent.
