he has a serioius MESSIAH complex
John The Baptist is the most popular Jerusalem syndrome choice for Christian men. Christian women prefer the Virgin Mary. For Jews of both sexes, the identification is generally with the Messiah.
One day, Bar-El decided to perform a classical experiment. He put two would-be Messiahs in a room together for an hour to see if one would prevail.
Dr. Bar-El: "I said, 'Okay, you must make the decision. Who's the real Messiah?' Every person said, after this hour, 'I am the real Messiah. He's an imposter.' "
I am shown around the wards, and then introduced to Russian-born Dr. Gregory Katz, who talks about the treatment:
Dr. Katz: "Sometimes we give some minor tranquilizers and melatonin if the person's also in jet lag. If we see that it's a real psychotic episode, we give anti-psychotic drugs."
Jerusalem Syndrome is posing an unexpected economic problem for Israel. Who is supposed to pay for the treatment of the afflicted tourists?
Dr. Katz: "Some of them, usually that come from Scandinavia, have good insurance. But some of them come from the U.S. and don't have medical insurance or it's not sufficient and doesn't cover psychiatric treatment. Then the State of Israel pays for it, including an escorting person back to the U.S., usually a psychiatrist and all the expenses."
No one is certain about exactly what causes Jerusalem Syndrome. Perhaps it's jarring for a serious Bible student to arrive in modern-day Israel where, instead of prophets in sandals, he hears businessmen discussing profits on cell phones. Or maybe it's the fact that Jerusalem has always been a magnet for messianic messages, and visitors get carried away.
For the moment, there are no clear answers and the emphasis is on rapid and effective diagnosis and treatment.
