I think trauma affects everyone, no matter when in history. It seems more prevalent now because we have billions more people on the planet so the number of people affected by ptsd is higher and we have a global instantaneous communication system that can spread information - and disinformation - in seconds.

Great point. While the percentage of PTSD suffers might be the same/similar, our increased population and readily available information has really brought it to a bigger light in the last 100 years.
