Just Figured out how the Inhibitor Chips work... its PURE EVIL

There was a really good example of a clone having PTSD in rebels. It happens when the Rebels go to Agamar and Rex lays eyes on a super tactical droid. He calls out for Cody and that whole episode, Rex was grumpy. It’s like Kanan said “battles leave scars, some you can’t see”

Another good example of past humans trying to explain PTSD is an ancient record from ancient Mesopotamia where a soldier suffering from PTSD was diagnosed as being attacked by the ghosts of the enemies he'd killed. Which is both a surprisingly accurate way to think about it, and an example from the past where the sufferer wasn't blamed as somehow weak for suffering from the condition.

I like how you mentioned that PTSD isn’t only in military, I’m actually unable to join because I suffer from it because of abuse as a child

It seemed like both Wolf and Kanan had PTSD flashbacks when they saw each other. They both immediately snapped back to Order 66.

The Clones were the most human of the entire franchise. They earned our respect.

Echo has a straight up PTSD flashback in the first episode of The Bad Batch

Each of the clones hold a special place in our hearts. Except Fox, especially Fox

"Many have served in the military" That line hit me hard since I've been rewatching SWTCW while waiting to exit the military.

Fun Fact: Before the prequel trilogy, when there was no information about the clone wars people use to think that Obi-Wan was a clone & that his name was a play on his “designation” OB-1 (OB standing for something like original body). Even though it’s untrue it’s a cool example of the fans showing interest in the wider lore & developing head cannon.

The fact that the Coruscant stationed clone troopers react too, hints to the dreams being part of them regardless of the clone being at the frontlines. Being stationed on Coruscant should keep the exposure to war at a minimum.

Because of where I'm at right now, I realize something important: The clones basically experienced Helldivers vs automatons for real.

I have PTSD from watching my body just... wither from Leukemia and coming within according to doctors " about ten to fifteen minutes of death if the doctors didn't shoot me full of a hero's dose of chemo. " And I'll have horrible nightmares of waking up in the hospital bed barely able to move again, or being diagnosed with a relapse of Leukemia and knowing I can't win a second round against it.

Didn’t Rex suffered PTSD when he discovered Kalani and his droid forces were still active on Agamar in Rebels?

Courage can’t exist without fear. To much fear can cause trauma. To much trauma leads to PTSD. I suffer from CPTSD

When Tup's chip activates, the boys in the 501st discuss whether it might be some kind of combat fatigue and Kix says something along the lines of "You know we were bred to be resistant to that kind of thing." ...but I guess resistant does not equal immune, and the amount and intensity of the horrific experiences piled on the clones is just too much to overcome.

I still have PTSD from when a close friend of mine died to basically even talking about it or anything stressful gives me flashbacks

the troopers are very human, no surprise with PTSD affecting them

I'm a US Army Veteran. I served during peace time. I had a period of harassment when I served that when I retell it to someone who will listen I'll "re-live" it and my heart beats out of my chest. I made a service connected claim on it and since I couldn't sit down and write it out or tell it the VA denied my claim. Though weeks before I had to endure the examination I had a huge panic attack and had to go on some heart medication for most of a year. I'm also in a Veteran Support Group that meets every week. Most of the Vets in it are Vietnam Era and man those guys went thru Hell then when they returned they went through some more Hell on the home front. There is a guy in it that I believe was a Navy SEAL and he complains of suffering from PTSD for the last 30 yrs. He's also highly critical of the VA which seems to have a policy of drugging up people who suffer from mental trauma. I think a lot of it is spiritual in nature because when the drugs wear off there's this person who seems possessed who can't sit still or is bent on a self destructive course of action. I've suggested to the people in the Mental Health Department they should have intramural sports there as we were trained as units and we should heal in units too. Btw the series of books that I thought come close to the feeling of being in a military unit was the Republic Commando books by Karen Traviss. I'm also disappointed there wasn't more than one Republic Commando video game. Doesn't Disney just destroy everything they touch? Thanks for the video.

This has been one of the clearest PTSD explanations, for civilians, I have seen on the web

In addition to combat PTSD, I bet a fair share of clones have TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) from the war. I feel like Crosshair might have developed a TBI from that Venator engineer in season 1 ripping his head open.
