I‘m not well versed in this topic so apologies for any misconceptions put forth in my title, but I was wondering how PTSD was perceived and dealt with throughout history. I don’t know of any examples from antiquity, and I am also curious about examples as recent as the Napoleonic wars.
It's a complicated matter, made even more so by the inherent difficulty of psychoanalysing a long-dead person from a wholly different cultural background at a distance of years or centuries. u/hillsonghoods' Monday Methods post on PTSD and the adjoining complications is relevant here.
