Body switch, body possession, reincarnation is popular tropes in manhwa. So imagine if those situations are real, will someone mental conditions still persist after body switch?

For example if someone originally have social anxiety, depression, schizophrenia etc, will they still have those illnesses in their new body?

Or what if the new body have anxiety but the original person don't, will they develop anxiety in their new body?

What about psychopath, autism, stutter?

Will it be similar like when we dreaming? Because in my dream I'm not socially anxious. But in real life I do

    Well I would think it would depend if the trait has something to do with chemical levels in the brain or is a personality trait.

    For example usually depression has to do with chemical imbalance so I would think that is the body rather than the person who carries the condition.

    However if you are a narcissist, that is a personality trait so it would go with the person and not the body.

    IDK if I explained myself…

    Scientifically emotions are a fault of the brain (hypothalamus) which is part of the body so If a soul possess it wouldn't their memories and emotions remain unchange as if they were the same person.

    But if we put that in fantasy logic whereas the emotions, memories and true self comes from the soul then the emotions and personality will still be the same as the soul even if the body is different. But maybe it would mix with the bodies personality since now the soul has its memories(experiences) genetics which constructs the personality. So maybe the personality will be mixed together

    I believe the latter will be more closer to truth cause in philosophy soul contains ones memories and personality.

Can we filter genre when we search tags? Sometimes I'm not in mood to read to read BL, but it always at most top on tags search.

    you can only do it with genre, sadly not with tags
