In my opinion Jasper didn't start suffering until after the death of Maya. Before that he did good keeping himself together. In season 3 I think they did his arc great, but it went downhill in season 4. If they just went through with his death at the end of season 3 his character would have been done perfectly. However I feel they didn't know what to do with him, said instead of being depressed he was just reckless and selfish.

I don't believe that Finn's switch was done out of the blue. Everyone knew he loved Clarke at the end of season 1. At the start of season 2 it becomes his mission to find her. Finn was nearly killed twice by Tristan a brutal grounder, plus he was there during the ring of Fire, and witnessed 300 people burn to death. This was probably extremely traumatizing even though they were trying to kill him. Finn was probably the most innocent of all the main characters, and witnessing all these horrible things happen in just days no doubt broke him to the point were he was during the village massacre.

If we want to talk about a character who probably suffers the most from PTSD we should talk about Murphy. Now he's a character that probably suffers the most, but puts on a persona to hid it.
