I think we should be very careful about what information is accepted as facts in Rosemary’s case. It was in the Kennedy’s best interest to keep her quiet and locked away, so they gave her a lobotomy. 
The epileptic seizures weren’t noted by her physicians until AFTER the lobotomy. 
Many reports I’ve read suggest that she wasn’t violent or dangerous, she was just naughty. 
I think it’s possible that they took a carefree, promiscuous young lady and lobotomized her and locked her away so she wouldn’t embarrass them.

The two doctors who performed the lobotomy stated that their was nothing wrong with her mentally, and that she most likely was suffering from depression as well. They tried to cover up her lobotomy, and even existence for as long as they could, they didn’t want any bad press, as they were pretty much American royalty.

Her parents also said that she could barely read or write prior to the lobotomy (They said at a 4th grade level while she was in her teens) Yet, she kept a perfectly legible, and normal diary.
