Did soldiers from other time periods develop PTSD-like symptoms?

by schlonghornbbq8

It seems like you don't hear about knights and samurai being nervous or traumatized people, so were they able to cope with killing another man better than soldiers of today are? Or were they traumatized and it just wasn't documented to protect their noble image?
