Reply to comment by ruesselmann in Has PTSD due to trauma and/or violence affected humans for centuries or is this a more recent phenomenon? Have there always been long-term effects when an individual experiences trauma and/or violence? by shooflydont
The difference is that most members of the tribe would have similar experiences instead of a ptsd sufferer being mostly unique in the tribe. So ptsd symptoms would be the norm. The nightmares and other symptoms of ptsd would most likely to be attributed to "bad spirits" or whatever the group's religious traditions said it was.
