25% of Iranians suffer psychological disorders
2003-12-03
According to official figures one out of every five Iranians, suffers from a kind of psychological disease.
That would be the 25% who are running the country.
The secretary of Iran’s Association of Psychologists, Seyed Ahmad Jalili said: “We estimate that 21 to 25 percent of the Iranian population is affected by psychological disorders with such symptoms as insomnia, a high pulse rate, excessive anger, intense headaches and stress.”
Having the U.S. Army parked on your doorstep will do that. You might try loosening those turbans, could help with the headaches.
“Physical stress, fear of being stoned giving birth, breastfeeding, burka rash pregnancy as well as social and environmental pressures are among the factors which bring on psychological disorders for Iranian women.”
“It is worth noting that women who are part of a society where they enjoy a good social status, and whose rights are enshrined under the law are less vulnerable to such disorders.” he concluded.
"Unfortunately for them, that’s not going to happen here."
