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.
