The medical world attempted to treat shell shock, now known as PTSD, through various methods during and after World War I. Treatments included rest and rehabilitation, where soldiers were removed from combat and placed in quieter environments. Psychotherapy and talking therapies were also employed to help soldiers process their trauma. In some cases, more controversial methods like electroconvulsive therapy and even hypnosis were used, reflecting the limited understanding of psychological trauma at the time.
