PTSD in ancient armies

by adrianwalsh1990

Hi I was just wondering if something like PTSD was a recognised issue in armies such as the Roman or Greek armies. Theres generally things mentioned about honour, but was PTSD an issue?

Thanks

There's a number of good answers on this in the FAQ. For the Greek and Assyrian evidence, see my post and that of u/kookingpot here. For the Roman world see u/sapere_avde's post here.
