There has to be records of this shit from WWI and WWII, if the dominant theory is correct, that high exposure to the shockwaves messed with their minds.
Yes. But "shell shock" is an earlier term for PTSD, and in the American Civil War it was called "soldier's heart." But this specific stuff about hallucinations, though, not the depression and anxiety, is what I was referring too. I've never heard of that before. My fault for not being clear.

WWI: Shell Shock
WWII: Battle Fatigue/Combat Stress Reaction (CSR)
1952 - present: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
WWII nomenclature of PTSD came with it's own stigma; soldiers just fatigued from battle, "man up" mentality.
Unfortunately not much has changed since then in the help the poor souls receive on returning home.
