How to use "Shell shock" in context?
Shell shock is a wartime psychiatric disorder that was first described by the French psychiatrist Jean-Pierre Maquille in 1897. The term was first used in military parlance to describe a mental disorder that caused combat troops to involuntarily withdraw from combat, become unreasonably obedient to their superiors, or become violently aggressive. It was first recognized as a distinct psychiatric disorder in 1939.
Shell shock is a debilitating mental disorder that can affect anyone who has been in a foreign war zone or during a period of intense psychological stress. The disorder is characterized by three main symptoms: combat withdrawal, changes in behavior, and extreme emotional instability.
