The term "Shellshock" was coined after WWI to describe the mental breakdown of soldiers as they returned home. This term would later become known as PTSD. What ways do you feel this may have also contributed to the soldier's inability to "return to normalcy"?

Answer:

The post-traumatic disorder that soldiers acquired prevented them from achieving a normal life because the slightest stimulus could lead them to terrible memories about the crash causing collapses and nervous crises at any time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The post-traumatic upheaval that the ex-soldiers who fought in the first world war acquired prevented them from being able to return to a normal life due to the constant breakdowns that the simplest of social elements caused in them. The traumas they went through during the war, made them see flashbacks that caused strong paranoia and prevented them from living in a family, social and even professional environment, as they had terrifying nervous crises and that left them completely out of their minds.
