Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
We are aware that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can be diagnosed in children that are older than 6 years of age, but we 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 we 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.
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.

Core Buff:
Can’t Escape the Memories
Every day and everywhere they go {Sim Name} can’t seem to shake anything of the past. At first, it wasn?t like this but as the days and nights went on it got worse and worse, now no matter what they do they can?t escape the memories that hang over their shoulder at every given moment.
Tense +5; Appears every 10 sim minutes.
