While the re-experiencing symptoms are the best known symptoms of PTSD, it is often the numbing that is the most troublesome for patients and particularly their families.

Often patients will tell you that they no longer receive enjoyment from anything or that they no longer feel emotions. You can imagine the effect that sort of symptom can have upon a relationship and relationship breakdown is a common sequelae of PTSD.

This is a little harder for Hollywood to do, but you can get a bit of a feel for it from Fearless and The Accidental Tourist.
