Canada Psychiatrist concerned about remote influencing weaponry affecting mental and physical health
Amin Muhammad Gadit
is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Memorial University of
Newfoundland, Faculty of Medicine. October 2009, he writes a paper with
the title “
Terrorism and Mental Health: The issue of Psychological Fragility”
published in Journal of Pakistan Medical Association. In the paper he
talks about psychological long term effects that result from terrorist
activities on civilians, including behavioral problems and
post-traumatic stress.
He also notes that with the introduction of remote influencing
technology, and the new weapon systems, it might be challenging for a
psychiatrist to tell the difference between real mental and physical
problems and induced ones, asking one crucial question: Are we prepared
for this challenge?
