[2023-01-13 16:00:11]
Today, many veterans are still experiencing the terrible events they encountered in the fight. This is not the only case where a veterans remember a specific event, but in more serious cases they actually "re-visit" the event or "flash back" under certain circumstances. When a service member began to show such signs, it was called "shell shock" in the early stages of the study. Many veterans in the Second World War were diagnosed as "Shell Shock." Their symptoms include, but are not limited to, excessive panic when making loud noise, extreme emotional and anger issues, general emotional confusion, sleep disorder, cold sweat, increased fear not.
During the war, the concept of the shock of the shell was not clear. In the case of "shell shock" it can be interpreted as physical or psychological damage, or simply as a lack of moral fiber. The veteran administration still uses the term "shell shock" to explain a specific part of post-traumatic stress disorder, but it mainly enters the imagination and memory of the masses and is a breakthrough for war Often considered injuries. In the early stages of the First World War in 1914, the soldiers of the British Expedition began reporting post-combat symptoms such as tinnitus, amnesia, headache, dizziness, tremor, noise allergy. These symptoms are similar to those expected after brain injury, but many of the reported illnesses do not show signs of head injuries. By December 1914, 10% of British officers and 4% of soldiers suffered "tension and spiritual shock."
Since so many officers and men are attacked by munitions, 19 British military hospitals are working hard to treat the case. Even now, 10 years after the war, 65,000 veterans have been treated in the UK. In France, in 1960 it is possible to go to a hospital to visit victims of elderly Shell Shock. A recent study by Johns Hopkins University found that the brain tissue of a fighter veteran exposed to an instant explosive device (IED) shows a pattern of damage in its area. I am in charge of decision making, memory, inference. This evidence concluded that shell shock may not be just a psychological barrier, as the symptoms presented by patients during World War I were very similar to the symptoms of injuries.
Shell shock had a great influence on British culture and the popular memories of World War I. At the time, war authors such as poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen were dealing with the shock of shells in their work. Sassoon and Owen treated shell damage for a while with Craiglockhart War Hospital. In her reborn trilogy, writer Pat Barker wrote many of her characters on a real historical figure, and painted in the WW River of the First World War poet and military doctor, Shell Shock We will explore the cause and effect.
