What is another word for prefrontal leucotomy?
Pronunciation: [pɹɪfɹˈʌntə͡l luːkˈɒtəmɪ] (IPA) 
Prefrontal leucotomy is a complex term that describes a surgical procedure that used to be performed to treat conditions such as severe depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental health issues. There are several synonyms for the term, including prefrontal lobotomy, frontal lobotomy, and psychosurgery. These terms all refer to surgical interventions that are designed to alter the structures of the brain in order to modulate behavior. While these procedures were once considered to be cutting edge treatments, they are now largely viewed as outdated and potentially harmful. Today, mental health treatments are focused on more targeted and effective interventions, such as psychotherapy or medication management.
