I mean war always has been a part of our life since the first civilizations was established. I’m sure “shellshock” wasn’t only caused by artilery shots.

Before Shellshock was diagnosed, it was called cowardice. And cowards were easily killed in an up close battle, man to man.

We now realise that was a horrific way to think of it, and recognise PTSD as a real and debilitating mental illness.
