Symptoms vary person to person. For some, it's like getting sick. They can feel lethargic. Empty. Other people get angry and lash out. Others still isolate and become distant from the people they care about. That's what makes corruption such a bitch, honestly: it's hard to tell until it gets bad.
As it progresses, some people undergo physical changes. They might start to look like they're sick. Me? I get pale, my skin starts to flake. I radiate heat. Even my eyes change color. That's usually when other people realize I'm getting bad but, at that point, I... don't see it. I used to look like that once and... I get so angry, it feels like this is just how it is for me. How it's meant to be.
That's the worst part of corruption: how normal it can feel when you're in the middle of it. Some people don't see it. I don't.
As for treatments? It sounds fucking stupid but... being around people you care about, talking out the things you're going through, meditation, incense, and even enjoying a hobby can help keep corruption at bay. But if you're far along, you have to go big. There are places in Lumenwood you can get medication that can help pull you down, though it tends to be a high trade. Moondrops can get rid of almost all of corruption, too, but they're hard to come across. I do have a few, though, if you need 'em.
