“Depending on the degree of the trauma, the length of time from the onset of the PTSD until the beginning of treatment, various degrees of mental illness can occur. The afflicted individual could relive the event on an hourly or daily basis, each time reinforcing the disorder. Sometimes the disorder doesn’t appear until months or years after the incident. The person may become tense, on edge, or emotionally numb. I’m not sure, but I don’t think the disorder can bring about changes in personality, but it can enhance feelings of anger, depression, or guilt and the patient may act upon those feelings. Alternately this person or persons could be evil. I’ve seen enough of it on my world to know that it exists.”
“How can you tell if someone has this PTSD? Bron and I both experienced the numbness you describe. However, when we unblocked our psy, we had a huge outpouring of grief, which you partially witnessed.”
