Havana Syndrome
Context
The Central government has told the Karnataka High Court that it will look into the matter of the ‘Havana Syndrome’ in India, in response to a Bengaluru resident’s recent petition.
About
What is Havana Syndrome?
- Havana Syndrome refers to a set of mental health symptoms that are said to be experienced by United States intelligence and embassy officials in various countries.
- It is worth noting that in general, the word ‘syndrome’ simply means a set of symptoms.
- It does not mean a unique medical condition, but rather a set of symptoms that are usually experienced together whose origins may be difficult to confirm.
- Involved symptoms:hearing certain sounds without any outside noise, nausea, vertigo and headaches, memory loss and balance issues.
- The syndrome traces its roots to Cuba in late 2016.
What are the causes of Havana Syndrome?
- No one is entirely sure.
- But initially during the Cuban experience, being in a country that had been hostile to the US for over five decades, the suspicion was on Cuban intelligence or a section within the Cuban establishment that did not want US-Cuba relations to normalise.
- It was then speculated to be a “sonic attack”.
