This article is about purported harassment and torture with exotic energy weapons. For the harming or harassing via information technology networks, see Cyberbullying.

Electronic harassment, or psychotronic torture, or electromagnetic torture describes either a conspiracy theory or an unusual mental illness, about either the unlawful use of exotic energy weapons to forcedly alter a victim's behaviour, or a condition of severe delusional belief systems and schizophrenia.

There are extensive online support networks and numerous websites maintained by people fearing mind control.

Palm Springs psychiatrist Alan Drucker has identified evidence of delusional disorders on many of these websites and other psychologists are divided over whether such sites negatively reinforce mental troubles or act as a form of group cognitive therapy.

Psychologists have identified evidence of auditory hallucinations, delusional disorders or other mental illnesses in online communities supporting those who claim to be targeted by government agents through the use of electric fields, microwaves (such as in the microwave auditory effect) and radar to transmit sounds and thoughts into their heads, referring to technology called "voice to skull" or "V2K" (a US military designation for the microwave hearing effect).

Psychologists have identified many examples of people reporting ‘mind control experiences’ (MCEs) on self-published web pages that are "highly likely to be influenced by delusional beliefs". Common themes include “Bad Guys” using “psychotronics” and “microwaves”, frequent mention of the CIA’s MKULTRA project and frequent citing of a scientific paper entitled “Human auditory system response to modulated electromagnetic energy”.
