I realise it was a more brutal era, and that it didn't have psychology, but the human brain hasn't changed any since then. Do any writings describe what we would recognise as war-related PTSD? Was it just considered a sign of unmanliness, or did people recognise that violence isn't healthy for the mind?
/u/Iphikrates and /u/Antiquarianism have previously answered How was PTSD handled during medieval times?
/u/hillsonghoods has previously explained why this genre of question is so difficult to answer in a 'Monday Methods' post.
