How common or frequent was war related ptsd in the past, pre WW1?

by Aetius454

I’m curious how common ptsd was historically, and how it was treated or viewed.

I’m curious if ptsd from battle or war was common in medieval, Roman, or napoleonic time periods specifically, but also just interested in hearing more in general.
