So I'm going to start with a few either from my own memory or I have encountered while googling PTSD in fiction. Here are some that I have encountered personally:
- Harry Potter from the books (more than the films).
- Tony Stark in Iron Man 3, is suffering very PTSD symptoms (though more likely ASD) including detachment, triggers, nightmares, panic attacks and avoidance.
- Marty Deeks in the beginning of series 5 of NCIS: Los Angeles (will have to see how this turns out, but very PTSD-ish so far)
- Terry Bellfleur in True Blood.
- Stanley in the West-Wing (particularly the 32nd episode Noel) where he is triggered to flashbacks. (though I have seen a youtube clip of the triggered part in particular)
- Walter Sobchak from the Big Lebowski.
- Dr Gene Owen Hunt from Grey's Anatomy.
- Starbuck from the new Battlestar Galactica
