Researchers: PTSD has been effecting troops since 1300 B.C. - NY Daily News
"A team from Anglia Ruskin University made the discovery after analyzing accounts of battle from soldiers fighting in ancient Iraq or Mesopotamia."
But here’s something I don’t understand. From the same story:
"Previously [PTSD] had been dismissed, such as after World War One, when returning soldiers were treated for shell shock."
How is treating something by another name dismissing it? (And during WWII, IIRC, PTSD was called “combat fatigue.”)
