I have no idea what kind of mental health facilities Egypt might have,
but I do suppose they have them. Aside from that, though, let me make a
comment on your reference to frontal lobotomies. Rather than saying that
they bring about a change in personality and make people more docile it
would be more accurate to say that it destroys the personality. One's
personality, that is the part that involves thinking, resides in the
cerebral cortex. That is located in the front of the brain just behind
the forehead. With that part of the brain destroyed the patient becomes
more docile because he no longer thinks. The body just exists and
functions at the direction of the automatic nonconscious parts of the
brain. A person with a frontal lobotomy is pretty much a dead person and
the hospital is just housing a functioning, but dead, body.

Roger,
Egypt does have mental health services. But I suspect it would take
what we call "involuntary confinement for the mentally deranged.
Mostafa has a very Pavlovian reaction to the word, "Roger". In
extreme cases, shock treatment is recommended. Of course Frontal
Lobotomy might still be used in Egypt. It did appear to cause a
personality change and left the patient in a more tranquil state.

Okay, I quit blocking Mostafa. I suppose I will have to just use the
delete key frequently. Every time I block him he just sets up another
Gmail account and sends me more private messages with his never ending
tantrums replete with plenty of name calling and insults. If Google does
not have a limit on the number of Gmail accounts one can set up Mostafa
would be a reason to consider it. I don't know what they have in the way
of mental health agencies in Cairo, but someone really should put
Mostafa in touch with one.
