| Mental illnesses (also called mentals) are diseases that are usually hard to get rid of and give you Fun effects.
| | #REDIRECT [[Mental Illnesses]] |
| | |
| The most common causes are wearing low soak headgear, being a hungry [[Vampire]], using [[Carrie]] or recloning as a [[Hideous Freak|Freak]]/[[Abomination]].
| |
| | |
| There are only three cures for most: A good doctor, an [[Empath]] or death. Mentals become '''''much''''' harder to cure the longer someone is affected by them.
| |
| | |
| = Mentals and You =
| |
| Depending on how far the mental has progressed, it could be simple to remove, or a giant nightmare to do so. At the higher intensities, psychoanalyzing mental illnesses are the hardest [[medic]] skill checks available.
| |
| | |
| It helps if you are reclining on a comfortable piece of furniture when being psychoanalyzed. If you have [[enigma]], you are so mysterious you can't even share your own inner mental workings, so you must rely on the rare [[Empath]] to help, they may be able to absorb your mentals for a fee.
| |
| | |
| If you need help, just politely ask on tradenet and someone would most likely be willing to assist, if not, maybe try to just enjoy the interesting perspective a mental illness gives you, sometimes they have some really neat effects.
| |
| | |
| = Therapy =
| |
| From the moment that you contract a mental, it will continuously increase the amount of 'doses' you have. Think of it like the hunger meter.
| |
| | |
| Receiving psychoanalyze reduces the doses you have until they reach zero - then you'll finally be cured.
| |
| | |
| Some mentals like paranoia, nyphomania and christianity are easy to cure even at full progression. The really fun stuff like damnation though? Either get it analyzed '''immediately''' or prepare to reclone.
