Reply to comment by shooflydont in Has PTSD due to trauma and/or violence affected humans for centuries or is this a more recent phenomenon? Have there always been long-term effects when an individual experiences trauma and/or violence? by shooflydont

I think earlier people just died quicker. A wound from a sword or arrow attack would be lethal centuries ago based on the lack of blood transfusion and medication. The lack of meds likely means you die from wound and blood infection. Added that fact that injured people would likely just left on the battlefields.
