Ukrainian researchers study 'dronophobia' as PTSD-like condition from drone exposure

Ukrainian and American researchers, led by Dr. Serhii Andriichenko, are studying a new pathology called 'dronophobia' at a Kyiv hospital, characterized by PTSD-like symptoms from pervasive drone presence. This is an emerging medical condition with no established diagnostic criteria or treatment protocols. It highlights the psychological toll of drone warfare on civilian and military populations, potentially affecting long-term mental health capacity in Ukraine.
