Hi.
As you all know, many of my (aka Hero Factory) characters suffer from or have different types of mental health disorders, such as Depression, Schizophrenia, Autism, Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, Identify Crisis and various kinds of phobias and trauma or issues that aren't strong enough to be considered as mental illnesses like WD's obsession with hygiene.
The point of this post is the following:
When I give a character trauma or a mental illness, I try to do my research on it to make it as accurate as possible, including symptoms, general behaviour, causes and cures and all that.
But medical results aren't the same as personal experiences.
I've had the most difficulty with researching autism, when I made BP autistic, since I wasn't very satisfied with the Google Results.

My point: Please note that I try to do my research regarding mental illnesses, but I cannot make it 100% accurate. If I made something wrong or exaggerated it (which I think I tend to do), please tell me. I'll either correct it or delete the entire part in which the mistake was.

Thanks for bearing with me.
