Both Annie and Katniss suffered from PTSD. Katniss even temporarily lost her ability to speak after the death of her younger sister Prim from a wave of bombs at The Capitol.
She mumbled every time she spoke; Katniss believes it is because of a possible stroke she may have had in the past. While in training for the third Quarter Quell, Katniss watched as Mags displayed her skill of being able to make fishhooks out of nearly anything.
Katniss is rendered deaf in one ear after she blows up the Careers' supplies, and she doesn't regain any hearing on her left side until afterwards when the Capitol gives her a hearing aid.
(Katniss recognizes her because she was also in the forest outside District 12 when the girl was captured, and she feels guilty that she did nothing to help.) As punishment, the Capitol cut out the girl's tongue and then forced her into a life of servitude as an Avox.
While Katniss did experience hearing loss after the explosion in THG, the Capitol fixed that after the games therefore, she didn't need to wear a hearing aid…but that's really one of the only instances where the movies didn't underrepresent the disabilities shown in the book.
How Katniss Deals with Her PTSD. It's no surprise that Katniss becomes traumatized—after all, the Hunger Games are the perfect breeding ground for PTSD. Severe, life-threatening, interpersonal violence as well as witnessing atrocities and killing enemies in combat are particular risk factors for the disorder.
All this is amidst a constant battle to procure food and water, and indeed she nearly dies of thirst in one of the Games. While she manages to escape both Games with her life, she is left suffering significant psychological distress and displays symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Chia Mags kisses Finnick on the mouth to briefly let him know that this is the last time she will see him. It's her way of saying "Goodbye" but in a more affectionate way.
Peeta painted Rue's picture to hold the Gamemakers responsible for her death. Seneca Crane was the previous Head Gamemaker, who was executed for allowing two victors. Katniss painted his name on a dummy and hanged it to warn them that they're not safe and the same thing could easily happen to them.
The female Morphling, however, appears almost coincidentally, and Peeta even mentions that they don't know her real name. Given that she is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect Peeta, it's safe to assume that the Morphling was committed to the rebel cause.
Peeta urges Katniss to run and stays to fight fellow tribute Cato while she escapes. He survives the encounter with Cato but suffers a stab wound on his leg. He camouflages himself into the rocks and mud alongside a riverbank, slowly dying of blood poisoning until Katniss finds him days later.
It is so rare that we see a main character in mainstream media who has a disability that is not a focus of the story, and this is why I was so disappointed in the movie. In the book, Peeta is an amputee, but that is merely a part of who he is and does not take over the storyline in any way, shape, or form.
Katniss rarely sings because it reminds her of her father, but she now remembers a morbid song that her father taught her: “The Hanging Tree.” This moment in the story is significant in multiple ways.
Katniss understands and asks if Peeta's been told about this, but Haymitch says he doesn't need to tell Peeta because "He's already there." As Katniss readies herself to take the stage, she realizes that, although she has made it out of the arena, the most dangerous part of the Hunger Games has begun.
He does not help Peeta during the Games as only one of them could live, and he knew Katniss stood the best chance, although it is implied that Peeta may have told him to help Katniss and not him.
So when he said 'I'm with the Mockingjay' it meant that he trusted that the Mockingjay (as the face of the rebellion) would do the right thing for the cause they had both fought for.
On the show Euphoria, Rue is so depressed that she can't get out of bed to go to the bathroom. Depression can definitely cause a lack of motivation and changes in energy levels, causing some people to do destructive things towards their health.
Rue fell into a depression where she just laid in bed watching reality television for hours on end. It got so bad that she couldn't even get up to use the bathroom, injuring herself in the process.
Rue is so depressed she doesn't even want to go to the bathroom. I've done that before but more like I'm so lazy I don't even want to get up, so a little different, or a lot different… Because when you are depressed you can't stop yourself from feeling worse as Rue puts it.
Eventually, Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick make it to the beach. They use the salt water to release the fog's toxins from their body, and rest some more before they realize they are now surrounded by monkeys.
Annie was a very kind-hearted and forgiving young woman, capturing the heart of fellow victor Finnick Odair, and later voting against President Coin's proposed 76th Hunger Games using Capitol children.
What does Johanna tell Katniss about Mags and Finnick?
Johanna tells her that Mags was Finnick's mentor and half of his family. She also tells her that she was with Wiress and Beetee because of Katniss. According to Johanna, Haymitch said if she wanted to ally with Katniss, she'd have to have Wiress and Beetee with her.
People who suffer from PTSD can also experience trouble sleeping, which both Katniss and Peeta deal with, exhibit self-destructive or reckless behavior or can be aggressive and irritable. Both tributes also have trouble controlling themselves and often react aggressively to situations that upset them.
Like the film's portrayal of Katniss' hearing loss, Peeta's leg injury is shown on screen. Due to an earlier leg injury, he is unable to outrun the mutts as easily as Katniss and can't climb to safety as smoothly as she can.
2. Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Wig Was Stolen! The natural blonde had to wear a brunette wig in the final two installments of the franchise due to hair damage after dying her tresses for the first two films. It turned out that one of her castmates was all about Katniss' wig, too.
