Regardless of whether it's deemed PTSD or not, there's too much violence in this world and it's only getting worse by the day. What's more alarming, at least for me, is that our senses have become so blunted by the exposure to the constant barrage of news (real violence) and films (fake violence), it doesn't alarm us anymore. I hear about some gruesome crime on news and it doesn't even register as shocking.

Thts is very true and on point
i think the fact news reaches people faster as you said makes them not register anything these days
too much too fast too often
I'm just finishing a book about the WWII..."The Guns at Last Light".
In it the author describes the mental trauma of combat on soldiers.
Over 900,000 were treated for "combat exhaustion" (which we now cal PTSD) just in the Western theater between D-Day and the final push into Germany. That doesn't account for Italy, North Africa or the Pacific.

I think it existed since WW1, maybe earlier and back then they called it shell shock. (?)
