Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Some of the problems that military veterans face is to battle a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, this makes the people that suffered of a traumatic event more aggressive in some cases, they are on guard almost at every time or they avoid everything that may cause them to remember that traumatic event.

The Last of Us is a video game that tackles the topic, as Joel's daughter dies in the hands of a soldier when an infection attacks the planet making all the infected people zombies. Joel experiments some strong feelings as the game goes on, such as the death of one of his best friends and partner as well as his brother kicking him from where they are hiding with Ellie, a girl that Joel has to take to a hospital controlled by the fireflies, a terrorist organization that wants to repare what they said they did by making a cure in form of a vaccine. Joel starts forming a relation with Ellie, thinking that she can replace his daughter, Ellie starts appreciating Joel but he discovers that the fireflies have to kill Ellie to make the vaccine so he decides to interrupt the procedure, killing all the members of the terrorist organization present and taking Ellie to the forest, lying to her and telling her that they have stopped researching for a cure and that they had more kids like her, Joel decides to protect what he thinks can replace his daughter instead of saving humanity.
