Unless I'm mistaken, there is something mentioned about Moody wanting to
keep his scars because of his paranoid Auror personality.

We also know there are some spells there are no counterspells for (Avada
Kadavra for example) and it seems to me mental issues are more difficult
than physical ones.  Like Neville's parents.  They're physically Ok, more or
less, but mentally not so good.  Thus St. Mungo's.
