I know what you are referring to. When a survivor is tagged as "Broken", there are no bubbles over their head or anything. You can't move them, they just sit and sob or lay down and you can't do anything.
It's not like "depressed", when another character can give that character a pep talk, food, or share a bottle.
I'm coming to see it as the character being dead. Maybe not physically, but mentally. It's like character mental death and I don't know if there's a path back from that or if you are just waiting for the body to catch up. Or maybe some outside event (like good news, helping neighbors or something) might bring them back from the brink if enough good things happen.
Unless its a bug in the game.
