What was Tracy's disorder?


I know she had trouble sleeping and that her mom verbally abused her, but it never went into what really happened. Was that it?

reply

According to the official website (which is now down), she suffered from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. She was raped at some point in her life, which probably contributed a lot to her illnesses.

@blipsycat: Thanks. Wouldn't happen to know whether the other characters' diagnoses are listed somewhere else online, would you? I've been browsing for awhile now, and I can't find any official descriptions.

Here are all of the character's diagnoses, which I saved from the official site (it's gone now, don't bother looking for it.)

Lyle: Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Dysthymia Disorder

Chad: Bipolar II

Mike: Conduct Disorder

Kenny: Major Depression, Selective Mutism

Tracy: Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Sara: Dysthymia, Borderline Personality Disorder

Much appreciated, man. Thanks again!

yeah they say she was raped plus it explains the dream she tells sara about where she has sex with a guy even though she doesn't like him and doesn't want to but does anyways.
