Shell shock was a term first used during World War I to describe the psychological trauma experienced by soldiers exposed to intense combat. It encompassed a range of symptoms including anxiety, panic, fear, and an inability to function normally, such as difficulty reasoning, sleeping, walking, or talking. Shell shock is now understood to be similar to combat stress reaction and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), though it predates the formal recognition of PTSD. The term served as a colloquial way to describe the debilitating effects of war on the mental health of soldiers.
