Yes and Homer's Odysseus can be read as an allegory of PTSD. So pretty old.

Edit: The quote is followed by "Everything about this claim is still controversial(...)"

Yeah I'd say that a soldier in a medieval battle had even less chances to survive (AND tell his tale) if he had PTSD.

So might be some form of survival bias at play.

Why would you say that?

There were a lot of minor conflicts in the middle ages. Not everything was as big as the crusades.
