Are there documented cases of soldiers (or any individuals) experiencing PTSD prior to recent history? Were the symptoms understood to be caused by the traumatic event? How were these individuals treated?

This is an extremely popular question. Not to preclude any further answers, but there's a section of the AskHistorians FAQ that deals with PTSD, and u/hillsonghoods recently wrote a Monday Methods post on On why 'Did Ancient Warriors Get PTSD?' isn't such a simple question.
