So the thing that cured Felix's PTSD symptoms? It was magic mushrooms. He may have been hit by a Spore attack, or eaten some directly. The culprit is likely a his parasect in PLA, A shiny shiinotic, or Arven's Toedscruel. It was not a high enough dose to bend reality or cause hallucinations, but.

it does put the body through nearly every emotion and several physical sensations, and causes parts of the brain to communicate with each other that typically don't. So, he felt emotions tied to colors (afraid of them at first), intense crying, high fever, some pleasant sensations, thirst, fascination with reality and concepts, intense appreciation towards every person he could think of, and a complete and total connection with every nerve in his body- like restarting a PC to fix the software.

His body is more sensitive now, having been previously numbed by his chronic pain. 'The mushrooms clean you out', so he drank and eliminated lots of water and he can stray hydrated now, actually feeling things like hunger and thirst despite his ADHD. And, for some reason, his implicit flashbacks and hyperarousal stopped. Perhaps it's the instinct the shrooms brought out in him, that he'll be okay and taken care of. He was even able to locate exact places of stiffness to pop or massage them for some relief. Generally speaking, he knows his body like a perfect map, now, and can fix discomfort posthaste provided he has the means.

The effect is permanent, even though it only happened a few times, and it stimulates neuron growth for for the following 5 years.
