Anyone being flippant about psychological torture knows absolutely nothing about psychological torture and their opinions about it can be discarded.

Jesus fucking christ just read some Wikipedia articles and be horrified that humans do shit like this to each other.

Sleep deprivation alone is no fucking joke.

The blindfolds that we see being used all the time on Palestinians are banned and considered torture under English law. No one mentions that.

I always assume those posters were physically abused and thus assume that psychological abuse in any form simply cannot compare. Ignoring the fact that their bruises healed fairly quickly while the psychological damage from that abuse is alive and well in their mind.
