Question:

Are lobotomies still permitted as treatment for a mental illness in the USA?


Answers:

Yes, lobotomies (aka psychosurgeries) are still permitted as treatment in the USA, though this is usually the last resort for when all other methods fail. They are not performed as much as they were before the 1980's, but they still are permitted.
