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 ?

PTSD has been around since the beginning of time and it accurs in animals as well as in humans. some Elephants for example have PTSD because of poachers who slaughter their families at early age only to cut off their tusks and leave the baby elephant an orphan. As a result many elephants who bern victims of poaching will get into a frenzy if they see humans. The reason why i think why its not so commonly heard is because its a hard topic to discuss and only lately (late 19 hundreds) people started taking the condition seriously
