Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," exhibits symptoms of PTSD largely due to the trauma of his younger brother Allie's death. This loss profoundly affects Holden, leading to feelings of guilt, depression, and an inability to connect with others. His experiences of isolation and his struggle with grief contribute to his emotional turmoil, manifesting in behaviors that suggest unresolved trauma. Additionally, Holden's encounters with the complexities of adulthood exacerbate his mental distress.
