Mental Health

is as important in the world of Terra, as it is in ours. It is also a source of constant controversy.

Healers from the academy in Cynsely spend nearly two years learning to tend to those with mental illnesses and traumas. Many of the goodly clergy spend extensive amounts of time learning to care for them as well.

While not necessarily referred to as such, especially those is the less “developed” countries suffer from PTSD. Also, often times the aristocracy (specifically those who accept incest as normal and acceptable) suffer from other mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, narcissism, and others. The impoverished areas are more susceptible as well.

The teachers of Argenon find themselves needing to step up their education of mental illness and trauma. As the Monster War and elven civil war ends, there are other conflicts that force them to extend their knowledge in how to treat and care for those especially with PTSD.

Therapy and counseling are new areas that require more education and application. They are, however, new and developing methods coming out of the medical academy.

Several of the characters in the books suffer trauma and their care is mentioned. As the books continue, it will be addressed more and with other characters.
