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

820 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 ?

I remember reading about knights having constant nightmares and regularly waking up screaming.
