Age regression is when someone has the mentality of a younger age than their genuine age. This could happen involuntary due to (childhood) trauma and/or a brain injury/damage. Or voluntary as a coping mechanism and way of relaxation. Common signs in kids include a little-age between 1 and 3, thumb sucking, crawling, etc. Common signs in teens include a little-age of 1-12, gibberish or pitched voice, sensitiveness, interest for things meant for kids, etc. Common signs in adults could include a little-age of 1-20, any of the called symptoms depending on age, etc. Adults could also be regressed back to their teenage years instead of their childhood. The younger someone’s mentality is drifted, the more they are in need of a caregiver (to be taken care of).
“Tommy is five, why is he still sucking his thumb?”
“His parents are divorced. He is acting like a baby because it has put a lot of stress on him.”
“Why does that boy act so childish?”
“He has the mentality of an 11 year old due to childhood trauma, because he got bullied in his past. It is called age regression, he is basically regressing.”
