How was PTSD dealt with in the Middle Ages and ancient times?

by J_Schermie

Our styles of fighting have changed a lot over time, but back then it was practically the same thing for a long while which involved up close and personal bashing each other with swords and stuff until they died. How did people deal with Trauma from such personal conflicts?
