Major updates

| Jun 9, 2016 at 17:01 | comment | added | childofsoong | @Ukko well, according to wikipedia, they're closely related, but not identical. Basically, shell shock later started being diagnosed as 'combat stress reaction' (which is similar but not quite the same), which can be a precursor to PTSD. But, in light of all the attention this has received, I'm going to update my answer to cover most of that. | |

| Jun 8, 2016 at 21:56 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | The OP said: Not sure that's the correct term, IMO he's heard of "shell shock" but not the former. I don't know why s/he thinks PTSD is a void acronym/abbreviation. Oh well, too late now. Someone has suggested it. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 21:52 | comment | added | childofsoong | @Mari-LouA mainly because that was the first comment on the question, and the OP didn't like it. | |
