I actually know of a patent number for something exactly like what you mentioned, 
Look up &quot;patent No. 4877027
Linked here

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&#038;Sect2=HITOFF&#038;d=PALL&#038;p=1&#038;u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&#038;r=1&#038;f=G&#038;l=50&#038;s1=4,877,027.PN.&#038;OS=PN/4,877,027&#038;RS=PN/4,877,027

It&#039;s a &quot;microwave hearing system&quot;
The way it operates is by irradiating a persons head with high frequency microwaves in the 100-10,000 MHz range. (Interesting enough that&#039;s the same range of frequencies that all of the new &quot;5G&quot; devices and antennas use, as well as directly borrowing some of the transmitter circuit designs from this patent)

It&#039;s also twice the frequency that your microwave uses to cook food, so imagine what it would do to your body, that&#039;s why to prevent cooking the person alive, they use &quot;frequency modulated bursts&quot; to minimize exposure time. This technology can literally implant sounds inside someone&#039;s head. 
look at the date on that patent and also consider that usually, a device has to be proved to function as advertised before a patent can be filed and approved]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Complicit in the tragedy are mental health charities and the mainstream media who talk about &#039;mental health&#039; issues in isolation.. As if our lives lived, the outside world, circumstances and our culture have no part to play.  A criminally dishonest critique of human hurting. 

If someone becomes depressed and anxious because they are threatened with poverty and homelessness, then they are reacting appropriately.  Their emotional response is a logical and appropriate response. 

But neoliberalism demands that we smile even though we might feel as if we are dying on the inside. If we show our pain we are weak and wanting. A thorn in society&#039;s side. 

To show our true emotions would be to expose the exploitation and the suffering, so the abuser (capitalism) gaslights us into believing we are not being abused.  If I tried hard enough I could be CEO someday. I just need to try harder. It&#039;s my fault. 

The mental health charity MIND once ran a campaign extolling the virtues of work. I notice too that the Samaritans offer a presence in DWP Jobcentres in the UK. This is because some people become suicidal when the DWP decides to sanction a benefits claimant, pushing them into immediate hunger and poverty.  

Thus the infinitely sophisticated complexity of the cultural hegemony and the capitalist machine is revealed. Complicit abusers present themselves as allies to the abused. 

Blindfolds need to be removed and the apparatus needs to be called out for what it is - inhuman cruelty. 

I recommend the book &#039;Politics of the Mind: Marxism and Mental Distress&#039; by Iain Ferguson.  One of the few voices of there calling out the reality.]]></description>

Your scholarly argument reads like a person who cannot accept that capitalism, the way it is running today, puts people into bad situations that can then lead to mental health problems, financial problems, personal problems.  If the system were not so overwhelming and unfair for people, they would not be driven to such extremes.  People function within the contexts of their society.  We are not external to it.
Current mental help professionals give advise on how the person can help themselves, but can do nothing to change the horrible contexts with which we live, which is the very system that often has brought about people feelings of helplessness...brought to each of us via rapacious capitalism.
Your scholarly argument reads like one sorry excuse for capitalism after another.  There is a better way.  What we have is not working.  People like you hold the conversation back from progressing on to new ideas and something better.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The parasitical system and their criminal friends at wallstreet hold people back and make people desperate, unable to get ahead. They siphon the public money and laugh all the way to the bank at our expense. Just look at the ridiculous costs here:
https://realitybloger.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/the-senate-how-much-does-it-cost/
 You can quote as many &quot;scholarly arguments&quot; as you like but they are pointless and there&#039;s no value in rebutting them if they don&#039;t address the root cause, and instead address secondary causes. This is what restricts the debate and you&#039;re the one trying to do it! The root cause is peoples &quot;unfortunate circumstances arise because of the political and economic structures and belief systems forced upon them&quot;. And IMO, Carlin just wiped the floor with your face addressing the root cause for 3 minutes, and that&#039;s good enough for me. What diversion will you post next?]]></description>

The situation really is not as complicated as you try to make it out to be. It only takes half a brain cell and a little critical thinking to realise capitalism IS the problem. You&#039;re just another idiot who is willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick being shoved up your asshole every day.

Uncle Sam leading the way, by incarcerating more than any other sovereign nation, per 100,000 citizens: proving the USA to have a scant hypocritical regard for Human Rights, along with colonies of the USA running closely behind: atrocious figures made doubly ironic, given their withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Commission , absurdly claiming bias &#038;&#038;&#038; like some AshkeNazi Creature of Zion

Since you quoted a study then used your own interpretation to back your argument

Suicide rates were generally higher for eastern European countries than western European countries: one indication that changing from socialist societies to capitalist societies is not resulting in a better life for many people.&lt;/em&gt;
