The British Army officially recognized shell shock as a psychological condition during World War I around 1917. Initially seen as a sign of weakness, it was increasingly understood to be a serious mental health issue resulting from the trauma of warfare. This recognition led to the establishment of more humane treatment protocols for affected soldiers, although stigma and misunderstandings persisted for years afterward.
