Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia. This notoriously haunted hospital housed thousands of mentally ill patients over a dark 130-year-old history. The Asylum had the highest lobotomy surgery rate of any other facility! Back in the day a lobotomy was the perfect solution for those who suffer from stress and anxiety, heal depression, insomnia, eliminate suicidal thoughts, delusions, hallucinations, melancholy, and obsessions. This is how, in the nineteen thirties, American newspapers advertised not camomile tea or sessions with a psychologist but “an ice pick” put in your head. Or, in other words, a lobotomy.
Egas Moniz "the father" of lobotomy, was awarded the Nobel Prize for inventing this barbaric surgery (go figure).
