I don't feel good about the idea of having mental issues in my game simply because I don't think TS4 can pull it off properly.
Let's say they actually add depression into the game - Everyone experiences it differently. And I can only imagine they would give depressed Sims a constant sad moodlet or let them gain fitness slower and these things don't happen for everyone who suffers from depression. I really don't think they can do it justice.
I agree, mental issues are too varying to be done right in a game. And honestly, when I play The Sims, I want to get away from anxiety. I think seeing Sims struggle with mental disorders would take away from the escapism. I don't love the "everything's perfect all the time" vibe that TS4 tends to have, and would like to see more ways things can 'go wrong', but mental disorders hit too close to home.
I'm not going to give an opinion in regard to physical disabilities though, as I don't have personal experience to speak from.
