Post Trauma
PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a panic-inducing disorder which was coined by psychiatrists who picked up on a trend among retired service people. Such disturbing memories were so impactful that veterans could not shake them following their wartime experiences. Those that fought in and survived the chaos and horrors of enormous wars such as the First and Second World Wars would have severe cases of PTSD, decades before it was even a diagnosed condition.
