Have you ever developed a PTSD only by watching a piece of fiction ?

Have you ever developed a PTSD not because you lived something traumatizing but because of a piece of fiction (movie, serie, book, etc...) ?

For me, it's the saga Final Destination, the first horrific saga i've ever watched, and will likely be the last.

  • The closest to it was watching Dahmer and getting to the part about the teenage boy because it was a fictionalized depiction of a real event. Despite knowing about what happened for years, there's something different about seeing it depicted on screen. It wrecked me for a while afterwards, and I stopped watching the show because how much it bothered me. It would have still bothered me if it was fiction, but probably not anywhere to the same level.
