Sorry, we don't allow throughout history questions. These tend to produce threads which are collections of trivia, not the in-depth discussions about a particular topic we're looking for. If you have a specific question about a historical event or period or person, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again. Alternatively, questions of this type can be directed to more appropriate subreddits, such as /r/history or /r/askhistory.

In the meantime, you may find something of interest in the FAQ http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/war#wiki_post_traumatic_stress_disorder_before_the_modern_era or by running a search on the sub for 'ptsd' or 'post trauma*'
