[quote=Anonymous][quote] The scenes in the trauma rooms after Robbie talks to Langdon but before he talks to Jake or Leda's parents and totally breaks down. The combination of how those scenes are shot and Wyle's acting just did a great job of communicating his state of mind, the overwhelm and exhaustion and profound sadness that sends him up to the roof later. You can see his eyes jumping from thing to thing because he's still in hypervigilant mode, but his brain and central nervous system are totally overloaded so he can't focus or process, even as he's also participating in a diagnosis and agreeing to a treatment plan. I have had a mental health crisis before (totally different situation, causes, etc.) and I felt seen in that moment. Quietly hitting a breaking point while still having to function, and maybe people around you notice things are off but can't see the degree to which you are just falling apart internally. The way they handled Robbie's PTSD and grief this season was so thoughtful and sensitive.[/quote]

This is so well stated. The way they showed Robby’s PTSD in the last few episodes, including the tearfulness that kept breaking through, really reflected what I experienced before getting treatment. [/quote]
