Question

Which euphemism has been used to refer to the condition when a soldier experiences severe anxiety triggered by combat?

Answer 1

The euphemism 'shell shock' was used during World War I to describe what is known today as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a severe anxiety condition caused by combat experience.

Step-by-step explanation:

The euphemism 'shell shock' has historically been used to refer to the condition where a soldier experiences severe anxiety triggered by combat. During World War I, shell shock was a new term applied to soldiers displaying symptoms from mild tremors to severe psychological distress, such as flashbacks or mutism, due to exposure to the horrifying conditions at the front. With time and with more understanding of the psychological impacts of war, the terminology shifted to 'battle fatigue' and eventually to what is known today as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD encompasses a wide range of symptoms including severe anxiety, flashbacks, and difficulty adjusting to civilian life after experiencing traumatic events during military service.
