Soldiers on the front lines during World War I experienced shell shock primarily due to the intense and prolonged exposure to the horrors of warfare, including constant bombardment, the sight of death and injury, and the overall traumatic environment of trench warfare. The psychological strain of living in fear for one's life, combined with the disorienting effects of loud explosions and the chaos of battle, led to symptoms akin to what we now recognize as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, the lack of understanding and support for mental health issues at the time exacerbated their suffering.
