Is PTSD a new thing or has it been with humans forever ?

823 views

I saw a video today about the sniper who had the longest distance kill in the world and he talked about his PTSD. I was wondering why PTSD has such a bad reputation and isn’t discussed more in the public discourse. Is it because the circumstances for example in war changed ? Armies in the antique or Middle Ages were huge and a broad majority of soldiers must have been absolutely traumatized when they returned, so why did no one care about them ?

It’s not the most solid historical evidence But in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla you see Eivor and the resident wise woman talking about Eivors hallucinations. Though in the videogame obviously there is supernatural play happening the roles would be the same for mundane traumas of war, and it models how ancient therapies would happen.
