Abstract
The correlation between terrorism and mental disorder has been studied for decades. Empirical findings suggest that no major role of psychiatric disorders can be found in relation to terror attacks, except for one type of terrorism: the lonely offender. Schizophrenia has been proved to be one of the most important psychiatric disorders that have correlation with lonely-offender type terrorism. In this paper the symptomatology of schizophrenia is presented with a special regard to its role in the development of deviant tendency that may lead to terror attacks. A domestic case of lonely-offender terror activity is introduced with the aim of highlighting this correlation in practice. Based on international empirical data and cases such as the one presented here a conclusion can be drawn; close attention is required on the mental state in the case of lonely-offender terrorism.
