PTSD has always been a thing but people were less inclined to talk about it in the past as it was seen as weakness. In WW2 it was called ‘Shell Shock’, and contrary to popular belief, was not exclusively a result of being shelled

Post-war PTSD seems like the most talked about in today’s environment (and for good reason). The after effects of experiences in war must be tremendous. But I am also interested in PTSD suffered by children living in abusive homes, victims of neglect or rape or assault. These experiences must have also occurred for thousands of years. It’s crazy that our subconscious can hold onto these experiences and affect us in such a profound way, with no evolutionary advantage.
