Post-Traumatic Stress Disoder

PTSD or Post traumatic stress disorder would have had a lot to do with World War I because the handout on PTSD said "A traumatic event is a life-threatening event such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents" etc in all of those examples all of the those would have had to do with the War because one obviously military combat was something they all saw and having to shoot at people would be terrible because it could leave you scarred for life and can make you have PTSD. Secondly naturally disasters would not have occured that often but there may have been a few earthquakes because of the explosions that occured frequently which could have been stressful for soldiers. Thirdly terrorists incidents would happen there because they had to do whatever they could to stay ahead even playing dirty, so soldiers near these dirty assaults would have been scarred because they might have seen the explosions hit other people. Lastly serious accidents would have been maybe the next highest cause of PTSD after military combat because with the gases of chlorine and mustard cause people could get deformed or die so people would see this everyday so that would really scar people because they wold never forget the uimage of their fellow soldiers dying or being deformed.
