Good morning.

NISE:
The Heart of Madness
NATIONAL PSYCHIATRIC CENTER
Good morning.
I'm Dr. Nise da Silveira,
One second, please.
Eugenia, Dr. Nise is here.
I was waiting for you.
Come with me please.
The cafeteria is now
on the other side.
This is the women's ward
and here is the men's.
Open the door, please.
No, I don't want to.
Stay still.
Relax.
I don't want to.
Let's go, doctor.
I don't want to.
No.
You've already seen the courtyard.
We let the patients come out
depending on their status.
When the most aggressive ones
are here, nobody goes in.
Let's go, doctor.
- Through there, doctor.
- Thank you.
Well, as I was saying,
the method is
the result of research
carried out by
Egas Moniz, from Portugal,
who has won
A lobotomy is prescribed
to psychotic patients
who in obsessive states, show
a high degree of aggressiveness
which prevents them from
The surgery is done
through bilateral trepanation
on the inferior frontal region.
Here you can see
the thalamus and the cut.
This white substance
in the frontal lobe,
is what prevents the connections.
Gentlemen, the results
are very satisfactory.
We are talking about
patients who were responsible
for the destruction of
their families,
and now live in
harmony with them.
In USA, Dr. Walter Freeman
found a cheap and unusual
instrument to do it.
An ice pick
which enabled him to cure thousands
of patients in a short period of time.
Thanks to lobotomy, psychiatry
is now a medical specialty.
Thank you, gentlemen.
I would like to use this moment to
introduce Dr. Nise da Silveira,
who is returning as a
psychiatrist in this hospital.
To continue our meeting,
let's hear
Dr. Marcelo Mouro's lecture
about electroconvulsive therapy.
Doctors, electroconvulsive
therapy is the most
advanced treatment
tor mental illness.
The method was developed in the 30s
and consists of inducing
convulsion through electricity.
Bring in the patient, please.
Let me go.
Get me off of here.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Get me out of here.
Get me out.
Help me!
I don't want to.
This patient suffers
from schizophrenia.
Most cases resistant
to every kind of treatment
disappeared
after this procedure.
Please, pass me the electrodes.
As you can see,
the electrodes can be used
uni or bilaterally
Then you just turn this on
and press this button.
The convulsion can last
up to 40 seconds.
The patient shouldn't eat tor 2 hours
before the procedure,
as it can cause vomiting.
We have had great results
both in catatonia
and in acute schizophrenia.
Excuse me, doctor,
how is the dosage determined?
The charge should be enough for the
loss of consciousness and convulsion.
How much is enough?
- Depends on each case.
- How about this case?
Around 30 amperes.
How did you reach
this conclusion, Doctor?
By experience.
You'll get used to it.
I don't believe in healing
through violence, Nelson.
Science has evolved
in the past few years.
Our success rate with
lobotomy is up to 90%,
results comparable with the best
surgical centers
I can't do that.
Nise, then you can't treat here.
There is a sector
run by the nurses.
The funds are low, but I think
we can do something there.
I know you're overqualified for that,
but it's what we have for you.
OTS:
OccupationalTherapy Sector.
There is so much to do
in this country,
instead of having fun,
cheering up the patient.
Occupational therapy?
Do you know what that is, Nise?
