I asked them what spiritual experiences they had which convinced them of their religion’s truth. One described to me that in high school she was in danger of failing her physics class right before the final exam. She prayed about it and felt an intuition that she should go to the professor and ask him for any extra prep materials, she interpreted this intuition as the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Upon visiting him he supplied her with some additional practice tests which she credited with helping her pass the class.
How far we have come from St. Paul on the road to Damascus.

Taking a step back, if PTSD was common this seems impossible.
Could have just been a mistake on my part! I don't have the historical expertise to weigh in further.
I do know that the concept of "war neurosis" was known to Freud, so the concept at least predates our "modern" (post-WW2) culture.
It’s obviously standard enough that there’s a word for it.
