Help Me Soon or Soon I Will Die
- michaelmrose 9y agoOverly dramatic title that gives no indication of what the article is about. Electrosensativity is a mental disorder and while exploring the psychology may be interesting their theories don't deserve equal time with reality. They claim to experience immediate and severe symptoms and yet in blind testing none of these people can tell if a wifi router is operating adjacent to them if they can't see the router. Even if we suppose said symptoms exist it would be trivial to discover this in the same fashion. By exposing some to a hidden router in an otherwise shielded environment and others not for a few weeks. Unfortunately they would ALL experience the same imaginary malady. Something that is "all in your head" is still a physical disorder because the brain is a part of your body but the primary way for them to get help would be to learn to understand reality. Nobody supposes we should give credence to the voices schizophrenics hear. Rather we give them medication and try to make them understand they aren't real.
