Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

❝Disclaimer❞ 

I am aware that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can be diagnosed in children that are older than 6 years of age, but I do not feel comfortable in associating these traits to children in the game. Children are sensitive and their symptoms vary - they cannot be categorized together with teenagers and adults. This is why I have decided not to include mental health disorders in children.

Thank you to some of my current and former Discord server members for insight on this condition.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a life-changing — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. 

Most people who go through traumatic events may have temporary difficulty adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they usually get better. But still, the memories can interfere with day-to-day functioning. 

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD), however, is a form of PTSD that results from repeated trauma over months or years, rather than a single event.
