Revision as of 12:39, 12 March 2016 by Yobot (talk | contribs) (WP:CHECKWIKI error fixes using AWB (11971))(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) 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 (most oftenly ascribed to rogue government officials) of exotic energy weapons to forcedly alter a victim's behaviour, or a condition of severe delusional belief systems and schizophrenia.

Internet communities and psychological diagnoses

There are extensive online support networks and numerous websites maintained by people fearing mind control. Dr. Bell, whose study was published in the journal Psychopathology, along with other mental health professionals, state that reports of ‘mind control experiences’ (MCEs) on self-published web pages are "highly likely to be influenced by delusional beliefs, although he also says it does not suggest all people participating in mind-control sites are delusional, and that a firm diagnosis of psychosis could only be done in person.

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).

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.
