I've played M15+ rated games scince I was two and have none of these problems. I am now sixteen and am a fully functional, social, nightmare free, violence free person.
Honestly, I would not worry about it. There's a reason these games are rated 15+, 18+, etc. So long as you teach your child right from wrong, teach them proper manners and social skills they will be fine. That's not to say let them play this if they are five. This could cause nightmares yes but they are FIVE.
These games are for everyone to enjoy young and old. And it's this hobby that has provided much enjoyment over the years for me. Please don't restrict this wonderful activity. Gaming connects people regardless of age, race, or gender. I hope you can experience this for yourself and change your mind.

It really depends on the person

Lol. In some ways. But any halfway decent person wouldn't kill someone just because they did it on a game. The thought alone is crazy. Besides these games do have ratings. But it's ultimately up to parents. For example I'm 16 but play GTA, (In Aus where I live it's rated R18+.) but my parents taught me right from wrong and I'm a responsible and good person. I would never do anything bad like you might see in game. (Again the thought is crazy). I don't do this stuff because I'm morally responsible and know right from wrong. The bad qualities (same as the good) are taught to kids and teens like me. It's not the game but really the parents and the people around them who imbue bad qualities.

Found out what TL;DR means. That's too bad.
