I'm more interested in those who picked Sole Survivor, or Colonist (or both). Kind of noticeable if Shepard has had several cases to have PTSD, it would manifest more clearly.
My Shepard is a colonist and right now I see her as barely holding on. She's still keeping up that brave invicible facade on but internally she's about ready to crack. Since we were told Shep will have more emotion I'm hoping there's an option for a Shepard melt down because while Liara caught a glimpse of what Shep is feeling there's a lot more going on in there.

Its more on how you precieve things. If you one of those people that think that the world is a wonderful world where the roads are made of taffy and walls are made of gingerbread cookies, then you are more likly to see splattered bodies as very turmatic event, but if you see dead bodies everywhere, ruins, and violent events your whole life then you are going to see it as just another event in life.jorune24 wrote...
Shepherd may be one of those rare individuals who just doesn't get PTSD. It's just a funny thing about the human brain that a group of people can see the same horrible thing and yet some get PTSD and others don't for one reason or another. That is to say though that it's highly unlikely Shepherd would be completely unaffected psychologically from his extraordinary experiences and which may be shown more in ME3 such as having survivor's guilt from the sole survivor background for instance.

Some are just mentally stronger than others, or good at hiding their emotions.

I hope you remember that Shepard is not some random anybody. But a member of N7 class, considered for Spectres by a lot of competent people. S/he obviously was tested time and time again for every kind of possible psychic disorder, and can deal with traumatic experiences way better than average human. S/he got over everything fate threw at her/him before ME1, including possible combination of being of sole survivor of *two* devastating attacks, which killed everyone close to her/him.

every stressful event a person goes through without having some kind of release is kind of like a can of soda being shaken up every time.

Actually its more about having a belief scheme which incorporates both negative and positive aspects of life. An example would be the just world belief: Good things happen to good people. Bad things happen to bad people.Hiredguns23 wrote...

But if a traumatic event happens, this belief does not allow for exceptions. That bad things can happen to good people and good things can happen to bad people.
What the traumatic event does is breaks those beliefs and the person cannot process the event and learn from it. Or they did not have a belief in the first place that would allow for the processing of it so they learn and adapt a maladaptive belief system such as I can't trust anyone or I am worthless. That's when people begin to have problems, such as anxiety which PTSD falls under as a disorder spectrum.
Treatment then focuses on modifying those belief systems to aid in the processing of the event and helping the person learn from the event. Resiliency is where people have a belief scheme that they can easily modify as needed. Some people learn at an early age how to do so or were taught. This lessons the likelihood of retraumatization.

Emotions are actually helpful. Your brain contains a structure called the amygdala that propagates emotions in response to your experiences. Research is showing that emotions may even be connected to higher level processes in your brain. Whether or not you realize it, you have a physical response when you experience an emotion. This actually helps your brain function better through release of neurotransmitters.HTTP 404 wrote...

Its not about being mentally stronger rather being resilient.
Everyone experiences stress. How you handle that stress is what shows your level of functioning.

Emotional vulnerability is hot, so my FemShep will be crying as early and often as possible. I figure since the galaxy is burning that gives her a legitimate excuse to do so without being emo.

Shepard is a superhero. Superheroes don't suffer PTSD.

But we already knew that. PTSD or not.
