Before World War I, American soldiers had never seen such brutality and bloodshed. After they came back from the war, many were disillusioned with life, or were suffering from shell shock. Quite a few of the returning soldiers turned to alcohol or drugs for comfort.
Shell shock treatments during World War I primarily involved a combination of rest, psychotherapy, and physical rehabilitation. Initially, many soldiers were subjected to harsh methods, including confinement and electroshock therapy, but as understanding of the condition evolved, more humane approaches emerged. Treatments focused on addressing psychological trauma through talking therapies and supportive environments. The war ultimately led to greater awareness of mental health issues, paving the way for more comprehensive care in the future.
