If you watch videos online of shell shock theres all kinds of weird symptoms. Dancing, jumping up and down, seizure like convulsions. But I’ve never seen a modern example of this. From my understanding, modern PTSD is the same thing as shell shock or in WW2 “combat fatigue”. Why is that?

Shell shock and PTSD are basically the same thing, it describes the same phenomenon.
I remember a comedian (edit: its George Carlin) doing a joke about shell shock and PTSD. He was mocking how people likes to have long words instead of simple words that basically means the same thing.
Shell shock – WW1
Battle fatigue – WW2
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – After WW2.
All means the same thing.
