Why does Peeta Mellark backstab katniss in the first book?

Peeta did not intentionally turn on Katniss in "Mockingjay," book three of the Hunger Games. He was taken in by the Capitol near the end of "Catching Fire" [second book] and, as later revealed in Mockingjay, hijacked by President Snow. Snow took memories Peeta had of Katniss and infused them with tracker jacker poison, to distort the images to make them look like Katniss was trying to hurt Peeta. After so much of this hijacking, Peeta's mind began to slowly break down as the girl he once knew turned into a monster trying to kill him. When Katniss and Peeta next meet, he believes that she is a muttation, out to get him. President Snow did all of this to him; Peeta didn't purposely turn on Katniss.

What was wrong with Peeta Mellark?

Peeta had got hijacked by the capitol. He would watch a recap of something cruel Katniss did and the capitol would give hima dose of tracker jacker venom. Now he will remeber bad things about Katniss unless he sees her singing or something nice like that. At least this is what I came up with.
