The Effect of Shell Shock in World War I

World War I, also known as the First World War or an unnecessary war, was a mere war to fight, but it lasted long. June 28, 1914 Serbian nationalist Gevrilo Princip assassinated Austrian grandfather Ferdinand in Sarajevo. A month later Austria and Hungary declared war with Serbia. The war broke Europe into two armed camps, on the one hand Germany, Austria and Italy, triple alliance, and the enemies were France, Russia and the United Kingdom.

At the end of the war the official report of the "Bomb Shock" investigation committee of the War Bureau seriously "the shock of the shell can be divided into two categories: (1) Concussion or Confusion; (2) Emotional Impact" and " After the explosion, the victims of concussion accounted for a relatively small proportion (5% to 10%), but evidence of damage caused by "shock shock" is mainly based on senior staff in this field . That observation, many of whom early war veterans are clearly skeptical about any new attempts to explain what their thoughts are. Simple nerve loss: Major ornamental officer Pritchard Taylor observed, "A new division often receives a" shock impact "as it thinks it is correct in the war in Europe. Unfortunately, information on such injuries is very troublesome.

A century ago in February 1915, the mother of "Lancet Neurology" mother "Lancet" published the first medical case study on the impact of ammunition in the First World War. In the aftermath of the war, medical judges believe that men who are shocked by thousands of shells are affected by "neurasthenia" or "neuropathy". As an example, a soldier who was shocked by Shell spent 118 days at a hospital, but because he lost his words, he could not fall asleep, lost memory and attention, and received treatment with active care. The statement of the lawsuit announced after the war was about his discontent with "weakness of the body" and the tremor in his hand. His answer to the question is worthy of noting that his intellectual development is very poor "vague and contradicting." And like many others, I slipped down.
