Mind-numb serum
A syringe of clear, viscous fluid. Injected near the brainstem, it deadens the mind, rendering the user unable to feel the highs and lows of human emotion. This temporarily prevents them from having mental breaks and inspirations.

The mind-numb serum is an item added by the Anomaly DLC
Acquisition
Mind-numb serums can be crafted at a serum lab once the mind-numb serum research project has been completed. Note that this research requires dark study to unlock. Each requires 2 Neutroamine, 30 Bioferrite, 1,320 ticks (22 secs) of work modified by the drug synthesis speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 3.
It can also occasionally be bought from traders. [Detail Needed]

When used, the mind-numb serum causes −5% consciousness and disables all thoughts for 2 days.
Analysis
Mind-numb serums are best used to keep critical pawns like doctors and psycasters from mental breaking when you can least afford it. The immunity to mental break effect can also be used to offset the mood penalty from using the juggernaut and metalblood serums. Notably, pawns on mind-numb serums will not trigger the fleeing fire mental break from the pyrophobia gene,
so have your sanguophages dose themselves when you plan to use incendiary weapons around them or when facing fire wielding enemies such as mechanoids or Impids.
