A friend's mother had some sort of psychic surgery, many, many years ago. I am not sure exactly why or for what, but I was told that the surgery cut most of the connections between the two hemispheres of her brain.
By the time I knew her, she had Parkinson's badly enough that it was hard to understand her speech, so I can't tell you anything about its effectiveness. My friend, though, said that -- crazy and maddening as she still was -- she was not totally impossible to live with after the surgery.
For whatever that's worth.
