Shell shock was a term used during World War I to describe the psychological trauma experienced by soldiers exposed to the intense bombardment and horrors of trench warfare. Symptoms included anxiety, tremors, nightmares, and an inability to function in combat. Initially thought to be a physical injury caused by concussive blasts, it was later recognized as a form of psychological stress disorder, now often referred to as PTSD. The condition highlighted the profound mental health challenges faced by soldiers during and after the war.
