Like modern cancer treatments- radiation and chemo (ethics, risks, benefits) They work for enough people to get rid of the people. But if you think about cancer treatment later poissoing people now.

People who were suicidal was little known either suffering or threat to society so then lobotomy was seen as a way to make them docile and remove out of society. Suffering would no longer be threat to society. Dual sense control people and cure / administration thing. Internal idea not much a problem/ wouldn"t be released so they would be a better patient. Look at a time how drugs or procedures impact personality. Loss of personhood was not an important idea/ concept individuality.
