MEDICINE TODAY: Psychiatry of Terrorism

A while ago, I was working on the psychiatry of terrorism.  What I mean is 9/11 bullsh@t.  A good example of this would be 9/11 and the subsequent more frequent bombing of something like the significantly more common public place bombing in Israel roughly in the 70's.  I see this as more frequent events, perhaps a significant event like 9/11, and intense exposure to  terrorism.

In my definition of terrorism, I like to comment on hijackings of airplanes or frequent bombings in public places targeting civilians by non-military forces.

Following 9/11, there was significant news of terrorism, and there were two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  This was simple doom and gloom and a lump on my mood.

What can we expect from such terrorism?

As best as I remember, I sat down and tried to list the psychiatry of terrorism.

1) A society of subjegation and domination.  People being bossed around and bossy more than normal is what I mean.

2) Repleteness.  It means fullness, a new word to me.  People wanting the best.  I mean the best car, best house.  What I mean is really, really, really nice stuff more than normal.

3) Fear

4) Anxiety

Yes, terrorism seems to work!
