The sniper attacks and psychiatry.

The three weeks of terror created by the snipers from October 2 to October 22 affected Maryland psychiatrists as it affected other Maryland citizens. Additionally, some psychiatrists provided specific responses during the crisis, and other psychiatrists had extraordinary relief when it ended. Furthermore, Maryland psychiatric programs are laying the groundwork for a more effective and humane response in case we are again, unfortunately, the object of sniper-like terror.
