There is a tree being who grows branches that are snapped off by himself, accident, and by someone else. This doesn’t appear to bother him at all.

it's hard to say - the main character gets violent and destroys things as a result of his grief and trauma, but it isn't really portrayed as him being mentally ill and violent
