BBC description
===Personality===
John is a highly respectable man and is also a very good friend and protective of those he cares for. He initially has a strained relationship with Sherlock, and often finds some of his habits annoying. John hated being lied too, especially learning when Sherlock was alive without a word for the past two years. Unlike Sherlock, John's usually more laid-back.  
Being an ex-army doctor, he used to be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. However, according to both Mycroft, John enjoys danger and sees the battlefield whenever he goes out on cases with Sherlock. Sherlock even mentions that John is subconsciously drawn to dangerous people. This is true, as his best friend is a sociopath who solves cases and his wife is a trained assassin.

in the aftermath, John tells Sherlock that he wasn't responsible for Mary's death, as it was her choice to take the bullet for Sherlock. At the end of the episode, John, during his last session, learns his therapist is actually Eurus Holmes, Sherlock's younger sister and that she was the woman on the bus with whom he had an affair with. Eurus gave a non-lethal shot, which was really a bullet that knocked John out.
