The Hunger Games
After being forced to kill other teenagers and
losing various friends, Katniss Everdeen, a two-time
victor of the Hunger Games, suffers from PTSD. She
is plagued by vivid flashbacks, recurring nightmares,
and hypervigilance. She has strong negative
reactions to otherwise regular objects, including the
smell of roses, that persist even past the end of the
competitions. Additionally, Katniss suffers from
survivor’s guilt, with her visions containing her lost
friends, especially present during her eulogies
immediately following the games.

Dr. Jekyll/
Mr. Hyde
Dr. Jekyll, a renowned scientist, descends
into the darker aspects of science when he
decides to invent a serum that transforms
himself into an evil alter-ego, Mr. Hyde.
Unfortunately, Jekyll soon began
transforming without the aid of the serum,
thereby developing split personality disorder,
clinically known as dissociative identity
disorder. Key symptoms of DID seen in the
character of Dr. Jekyll include distinct shifts
in personality along with the inability of one
persona to control the other.

surgeon, appeared regularly on Grey’s Anatomy

with bipolar disorder during the 16th season. The
show introduces him as he experiences a
depressive episode and low levels of motivation,
however, he soon becomes manic, working
quickly, sleeping little, and struggling to control his
thoughts. As time passes, he goes longer without
an official diagnosis. Eventually, DeLuca has a
breakdown, and he finally realizes that he needs
psychological treatment. With treatment, he is able
to work regularly once again.
