Lobotomy Video Analysis

My thoughts on the Frontline video on Insanity was this case was very sad for all that were involved. Everyone seemed to realize that this person truly was insane; however, by legal definition he was not insane. I really like the part in the video where they discussed not being able to obtain a person from the medical community to testify, since they all clearly knew the person was insane and mentally ill. I am not sure why the judge did not allow the jurors to know what would have happened if they found guilty but with reason of insanity. The most touching part to me in the front line video was the brother discussing how he was a guard at the place his brother was being held. I can only imagine how scared he was for his brother.

This video was very surprising, instructive, informative, depressing and occasionally infuriating. I have always known that there were a lot of factors that influence ones health, but I had never really expected it to be this disturbing reality. The video presents a lot of surprising information with any luck individuals will ask themselves serious questions like I did. Optimistically, after seen the video people can account to the things that need to be addressed in order to eliminate this factors and not be eager to judge a set of group of individuals.

In America, one in five adults has a mental health condition, a staggering statistic. Appreciatively, recovery is the goal in the mental health centers of 2017. Nevertheless, in the 1950s, patients were provided with inhumane treatments such as lobotomies. Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, provides an accurate portrayal of a psychiatric ward in the 1950s. The antagonist, Nurse Ratched, hopes her patients will not recover and manipulates them to gain authority. In contrast with the past, Nurses of the present day treat individuals with respect. Conduct towards mentally ill patients has changed since the 1950s in ways such as public attitude, medication, and

Prefrontal and transorbital lobotomy was a commonly used treatment to cure madness during the mid 1900’s. This invasive procedure was tested on as many as 50,000 institutionalized mad patients. This was a desperate procedure, and was only used when all other forms of treatment failed. There’s a lot of controversy surrounding this horrific procedure. Where the cure rates after this procedure were not as high as everyone thought, and the terrible risks that can come from getting a lobotomy. When evaluating patient their employment status played a key factor in whether or not they should have a lobotomy. In order to determine the success of the operation the patient’s ability to work played a key role. Both prefrontal and transorbital lobotomy

Most of what was depicted in his videos were also in his articles such the problem with stigma, the importance of family and community, and the depiction that those who really need treatment are seen as not needing the services. I agree with the Guiding Principles and Element by White (2007) that family and community support are important for recovery (p. 21). Also, I believe that continuity of care not only helps individuals

Think back and imagine your own personal worst experience in life… then multiply it by a thousand; to what a person would have to endure daily in one of these buildings. The brutality, abuse, neglect, pure mental and physical torture is something uncompressible. For someone, anyone to benefit from such circumstances is shameful and honestly the most disrespectful thing I can imagine, I personally don’t think

After I watch the video, one thing that I keep thinking about is the cost. The video mentioned the average week long therapy cost is 5 thousand dollars and the chiropractor in the video also admitted that the treatment is placebo. I don’t know if I really want to spend that much of money just for placebo treatment. What about if a person has to do it every week or do it for long term then, he/she might end up broke. I think it is interesting when chiropractor talked about what he did such as reprograming part of the brain and he also use machine that help stimulate part of the brain that is damage to his client. However, I don’t think I would want it because there is evidence to prove that it is very effective and I want to see more successful

The videos only made my opinion stronger… no change. The people on the “agreeing” side were very educated and knew what they were saying. They didn’t change my opinion though. While the “disagreeing” side made my opinion even stronger and kind of wanted to make me learn more about the topic. Still no change in my opinion… it’s only stronger.

“Both the book and the movie are insightful views into societal problems such as stereotypes about the people who have mental disorders. But the film is largely out of date in terms of depicting hospital staff as manipulative or evil. From what I saw when I worked in a similar institution, mental hospitals are a calm, healing environments—as they should be” (Wind Goodfriend, 2012).

First of all, it handles a very important question: How should society handle mentally disturbed people? Should we put them together in an asylumn, or

Emotional Cut- Graphically showed a lobotomy while a woman speaks about regretting having the lobotomy. Emphasizes how much pain many of the patients went through. Also triggered anger, repulsion in the audience.

It’s clear to see that even if they aren’t getting treatment they do need it and should not have to suffer because of money. This means that it is so critical that health insurance companies start to follow the laws and increase the number of companies that pay for mental health treatment. The, maybe one day, if the laws if the companies start to comply to the laws maybe the number will do down to 1 in 4 suffer from mental illness in 5 years. Then maybe 1 in 3 in 10 years and so on. My goal is that less and less people every year don’t have to suffer from mental

I think that the practice and reasoning behind female genital mutilation is completely wrong. In the Pokot tribe, young girls are circumcised for “practical” reasons. A few of these reasons involve a girl’s self-worth when it comes to marriage or too see if she is strong enough to become a woman within her village. However, having a circumcised vagina does not determine this; receiving an education does. Throughout the video, I found the marriage process of the Pokot strange. In exchange for the bride, the girl’s father receives cows along with beer and other minuscule items. These items can potentially make the family wealthier and gain a higher social class. Nancy argued that these items especially the cows have little mean. I agree with

However, in spite that awkward experience, it was a very interesting video. The Yellowstone case is a good example that shows how our actions affect the environment. It is sad to see the transformation of the landscape over the years as a result of the hunting of wolves. Even though they are big predators, they are still living creatures that deserve respect. I really don’t understand the urge of some people to haunt and kill animals and why is still allowed in some parts of the world. We have no right to attempt against the life of others, not only people

I agree about the views that they expressed, because being diagnosed with Face Blindness can cause numerous obstacles in their lives. In my view, this condition is saddening because not recognizing themselves or even someone else can frustrate a person and also allow them to lose friends. In addition, now these people have found other ways to determine who people are. For example, a person that does their hair the same way can allow that person who has the condition to identify who that person is by the way he or she does their hair every day. Some might object to watching this video, of course, on the grounds that this is not a significant issue because a person may rarely find or hear about people having this condition and in the video it
