| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

I swear my cat has a touch of PTSD. He was abused and abandoned as a very young kitten (I got him from a rescue shelter). He is easily startled, very wary of people, and hates to be touched! |

Jack Bauer from "24". My God, he's been tortured, starved, frozen, imprisoned, tortured some more, everyone he knows has either betrayed him or been killed, more than one by Jack's own hand. Most of the people he worked with has been tortured and/or shot. He was forced to kill his own brother and his own father. He's killed God knows how many bad guys, and a few good guys in the line of duty. He took down a sitting U.S. president. His wife was murdered by a former girlfriend who betrayed him. He ended up killing her, finally.
I'm sure he has PTSD by now. I'm looking forward to season 7. |

Wow, I'm not a fan of 24 but that sounds like one hell of a traumatic experience.
How about James Bond then? Not even close to Jack, but he may qualify. |

Not to be a total dork or anything, but what about Hamlet? My students always ask me to "diagnose" Hamlet...(They think I'm almost a doctor just because I can use an epi-pen) LOL
I've come up with complex PTSD with intrusive thoughts--(he sees and hears his dad's ghost)--as well as a touch of OCD--(he's way too obsessed with revenge). Could also be borderline personality if you consider how he is with Ophelia...hmm... |

Hamlet sounds like he's beyond help. Haven't read the book myself, but have read descriptions of him. You're not a total dork, but I'll one up you in that department...
Battlestar Galactica. Seems that the women tend to develop PTSD, while the men just get angry. Well, Starbuck gets pretty angry too... |

I don't know if it is PTSD or not, but Piglet certainly has some sort of anxiety disorder. |

What about Roger Rabbit in 'Who framed Roger Rabbit?' Now there's a character who ought to have PTSD! |

Did you ever watch Underdog as a kid? What was his girlfriend's name...Polly? You know, the one who was always being tied to the train tracks until Underdog could save her? That's sure to mess a person--or dog--up a bit. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
