The World War II name for what is known today as post-traumatic
stress, this is a psychological disorder that develops in some individuals who have
had major traumatic experiences (and, for example, have been in a serious accident
or through a war). The person is typically numb at first but later has symptoms
including depression, excessive irritability, guilt (for having survived while others
died), recurrent nightmares, flashbacks to the traumatic scene, and overreaction
to sudden noises. Post-traumatic stress became known as such in the 70s due to the
adjustment problems of some Vietnam veterans.
