Essential question: If Paul were to survive the war would he be able to seek help for the PTSD he now has from the war?

When looking at treatment for PTSD after the First World War we have to keep in mind that the war ended in 1918 sure the medical field had increased significantly, thanks to the 2nd industrial Revolution however that doesn’t mean doctors were able to treat PTSD as this back then had just appeared during the war as shell shock the best way to describe this is experiencing or doing something traumatizing during the war an example of this would be from what I saw in the document where there was this soldier while he was at the front stabbed one of the enemies in the face with a bayonet and had developed a face tick from it or how this other soldier after an explosion happened a shell had lifted him against a wheel of a howitzer he was somewhat awake trying to get his comrades to seek shelter he was not able to speak and later had weakness in the limbs he would later be in the hospital he would later develop tremors giving him patterns of what he can or can’t do  was not able to use his legs and had difficulty using the bathroom. When the doctors were faced with the rising surge they were experimenting with possible solutions on how to deal with shell shock one of them being anesthesia or being electrocuted with a car battery to walk.
