Similar to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), PLSD is a disorder that occurs when a human experiences a long period of lethargy (the person has done “nothing”) to then return to a stressful environment such as school or work. Usually accompanied by mild to dysfunctional depression and suicidal thoughts. Other known related symptoms are insomnia, tiredness, and emoness.
