It's called PTSD now and it's still hideous. Open to civilians, or
anyone experiencing a traumatic event.

By dint of a rather strange job I briefly held at mid century, I got to
meet a fair number of WWII vets whose post war adjustments ended up as
insanity or close to it. My duty at the VA hospital was to act as
middle man on the electric shock therapy team. I got to talk to these
guys before and after we worked them over. I don't know whether our
approach helped or hurt.
