Ahem.

I obviously have a large number of issues with this article, the least of which is that there is not, in fact, a space between Post and Traumatic. It is treated as one word: "Posttraumatic Stress Disorder". I am also rather surprised that you would name the article when the term "posttraumatic stress disorder" is never mentioned in the Metroid universe. Ordinarily you would be the first to reject that name as unofficial. In fact, we do not even know if Samus does in fact possess PTSD, or some other condition- I shall have to look up the official DSM criteria at some point in the future to verify this,although I suspect I will find that her behavior does in fact fit the diagnosis. However, that will do little to change the fact that this article appears to be largely composed of summaries of events described in other areas of the wiki. I am not nominating the article for deletion just yet, but I do believe it could be made much smaller without any real loss in information density.

Nobody's perfect. And did you not look at the manga section? PTSD is clearly mentioned. --RoyboyX (Talk • Contribs • UN) 14:41, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps you should enlarge the picture, or state that it is mentioned by name there in the article text? It is very easy to miss. "My name is AdmiralSakai, and I approve this message." 14:48, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

If you had read the article properly you wouldn't have missed it. HellKaiserryo12_[ADMIN] (Talk•Contribs) 14:54, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Well, of course it's harder to miss now, but with my monitor small Manga text foten becomes a small Manga blur. "My name is AdmiralSakai, and I approve this message." 15:19, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

I am happy to see that there is an article on PTSD here at Wikitroid. I hope it will inform those who are interested in the Metroid series, and even help those who are new to the series. In-game doesn't mention that Samus is suffering from PTSD, but it would appear that her reaction to this event is accurate. In-game says that Samus is "panic-stricken," if I recall correctly.
