Stage III of Roth Syndrome- Severe Psychological Decline
From this point on, Roth Syndrome will reach a more harmful stage in its development. The previous symptoms will become significantly more pronounced, as well as the onset of delusions beginning to occur; consequently, the wanderer will slowly begin to become detached from reality. Additionally, nerve disorders caused by Roth Syndrome will cause an intense itching sensation on the skin with no discernable source, as well as brain damage caused by the Wretched Cycle resulting in extreme body dysmorphia. These symptoms often result in self-mutilation via pulling off the skin, often causing major injuries and making one vulnerable to infection of the wounds.Extreme switches in mood and abnormal aggression will begin to manifest as well. Victims of Roth Syndrome at this stage often rapidly switch between intense fear, extreme mania, raving ferocity, and crushing depression within a matter of mere hours. Adding to this, many major memories will have begun to be forgotten, usually those more than a year old. Due to these behaviors, it is at this stage that many begin to be exiled from their settlements, often considered by others to be a lost cause at best and a waste of valuable resources at worst. Although recovery is still very much possible, it must be pursued immediately to avoid progressing to the final stages of the malady.
