Richard Helms ordered all the MKULTRA files destroyed. A few were missed, I believe files for 149 sub-projects were discovered. Nobody knows how many they actually had. Back in the 50s-60s the CIA was continuing what the Nazis had started, Mind Kontrol by fracturing the mind and replacing behavior with what they wanted through physical trauma & lots of drugs. This is why back in the 70s-80s you seen many lone wolf cases in the headlines of psychotic split personality types. Some were very violent and some were not.
One thing the CIA learned is that trauma via physical abuse along with LSD and other psychedelics do not reliably work for actionable intel. What they did learn that is much easier and less intrusive that really does work is Hypnosis. Not the silly Hollywood hypnosis. There are so many rabbit holes and names within that MK dark labrynith that one could spend a lifetime researching it. In fact, a few have done so and a few later went mad.

Dr. Philip Zimbardo (former US Navy Office of Research & the infamous Stanford prison experiment) wrote an essay On Resisting Social Influence (1979) The thesis of the essay is that mind control exists not in exotic gimmicks, but rather in the most mundane aspects of experience in plain sight.

Media exposure to one traumatic event primes you to respond acutely to subsequent events...really interesting implications.

Media exposure to mass violence events can fuel a cycle of distress
So the acute mass psychological effects of a given event last for a few months, but they can be sort of re-activated years later by subsequent events.
What if governments learned from the MKUltra experiments in the 50's-60s that such trauma allows you to control people, so they purposely orchestrate disastrous events to keep their citizens afraid plus dependent on them, and that's one of the reasons that mental illness has been rising? Nah, that's crazy conspiracy talk.
The final episode of the second season of TV show "Punky Brewster" (1984-86) showed Punky and her classmates watching the live coverage of the shuttle launch in class. After the accident occurred, Punky is traumatized; her dreams of becoming an astronaut are crushed. NBC cancelled the show soon after.
Apparently, the Punky Brewster script was confirmed by later research...
The study of the effects of the Challenger disaster on school children demonstrated that populations can experience PTSD from distant events witnessed on TV.

Studies of populations after 9/11 & after the 2008-2009 Gaza massacre suggest that indirect exposure to mass trauma through media leads to population-level surges in PTSD-like symptoms that then decline back to baseline over a period of months.

Quote:OBJECTIVE: The Challenger space shuttle explosion in January 1986 offered an opportunity to determine what, if any, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and bereavement normal latency-age children and adolescents would develop after a distant, horrifying event. METHOD: With a structured interview, the authors assessed the symptoms of 153 randomly selected children from Concord, N.H., and Porterville, Calif. Responses were statistically compared between East Coast children, who saw the event on television and who generally cared more about the teacher aboard Challenger, and West Coast children, who heard about it first; between latency-age children and adolescents; and between children seen 5–7 weeks later and those same children seen 14 months later.
RESULTS: More than 60% of the subjects feared at least one stimulus related to Challenger within the first 5–7 weeks of the explosion. The East Coast and latency-age groups appeared significantly more symptomatic than did the West Coast and adolescent groups. Over the 14-month study period, most symptoms dramatically faded. However, adolescents’ diminished expectations for the future in general increased, and latency-age children’s changed approach to space careers held relatively steady. Three East Coast latency-age children met the DSM-III-R symptom requirements for PTSD in 1986; no children met these in 1987.
CONCLUSIONS: Children’s symptomatic patterns after Challenger relate to the patterns for PTSD listed in diagnostic manuals and to three symptoms not in the DSM-IV list. To the authors, distant traumas appear to be one of a newly defined spectrum of trauma-related conditions that include relatively evanescent symptoms and a few longer-lasting ones. These symptoms may affect large numbers of normal children.
