Reply to comment by [deleted] 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
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.
