This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If you survive a gunshot to head it's typically because it hit your frontal lobe / lobes which are to some degree expendable. So you basically have a frontal lobectomy which yeah, it's an effective treatment for depression. There are some side effects however.

Lobotomy is NOT an effective treatment for depression, anymore than a death is a treatment for depression, or whatever.

It’s effective, not efficient.
