| Summary: | Terrorism imposes heavy psychological impact on individuals and the society at large. The recent spurt of terrorist strikes has largely disturbed the hale and hearty homeostasis of our society. The affected individuals suffer from high risk of psychological impacts like developing stress reactions, post-traumatic stress disorder, and related anxiety and panic disorders. The ongoing terrorist threat causes chronic states of high stress resulting in stress-related health problems, of low grade suspicion, paranoia, and hyper vigilance, persistent feelings of anxiety, fear, and dread, confusion, and uncertainty. Psychology recognizes terrorism as a subject worthy of consideration only in 1982, when ten publications under this topic were listed in psychological abstracts. |
