PTSD has been recognized for a very long time under tons of different names. From shell Shock to Combat Fatigue, medical professionals have formed a formal diagnose of PTSD in 1980 t the DSM-III.

So it has certainly been recognized for a century and beyond, but the formal use of the specific term PTSD was 1980.
