PTSD is the modern word for shell shock.

Shell shock was a term coined to describe the reaction of some soldiers in World War I to the trauma of battle. It was a reaction to the intensity of the bombardment and fighting that produced a helplessness appearing variously as panic and being scared, or flight, an inability to reason, sleep, walk or talk.
This video is what shell shock looks like. If seeing her husband dressed as a baby caused her to react like this, she has bigger problems.
Yea, when they started diagnosing people with PTSD left n right, I thought of seeing something similar to this video. This is REAL ptsd. Notice the unstoppable twitching. Essentially, your body's nervous system is put on permanent scare.
The manager at the gym I lift at was an artillery gunner in the Iraq war. No twitches, but said he had uncontrollable bouts of anger they attributed to PTSD. Makes sense, as one of the common side effects of brain trauma (consider the pressure changes of artillery right next to your head), or multiple concussions is anger, aggression. It makes sense really, it's just your brain's way of subconsciously telling your mind "don't let that happen much more or it might kill me."
However, PTSD from a live-in Nancy Patsy of a husband? Naw.. More entitlement scamming from another hoe..
