Yeah, but why would a hysterectomy drop her IQ 40 points? The same thing happened to the other patient earlier in the season after she got surgery. They turn into borderline vegetables.
Gillian was completely out of it when Nucky talked to her.

Shock maybe. The traumatic experience of being in that place was getting to her and mentally breaking her down.
Gillian was not crazy when she went to the institution. She was sent there as part of a plea in which she plead temporary insanity as a defense in order to avoid jail. She was hoping that she would one day be declared "sane" and released. In her meeting with the doctor he dashed all hopes of that when he said he could never be sure if anybody who was insane could ever be completely cured, that the insanity was hiding away in their bodies (ovaries, etc) and would have to be physically cut out. She was never getting out of there and would spend the rest of her days tormented as part of some arcane experiments until her death.
Frankly, I'd rather be in jail than in an insane asylum.

I think when she wrote the letter to Nucky, it was her last hope. She talked to the nutbag doc and he said "how can we ever know if you're cured" or something like that and said something about cutting it out of her. By the time Nucky ever came to see her, she was deflated as the doc had operated on her, she had given up. And she was likely on painkillers or some other dope, so that's why she was "dumbed down". But her story and question about the ladybug was very appropriate.
