Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Combat exhaustion" is an outdated term that was used during World War I to describe what is now known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The term "shell shock" was also used during this time, but it specifically referred to the physical symptoms (such as tremors and paralysis) that some soldiers experienced in addition to psychological symptoms. "Acute stress disorder" is a relatively new diagnosis that was not recognized until the 1990s, and "war neurosis" is another outdated term that was used to describe a range of psychological symptoms experienced by soldiers in previous wars. Therefore, the best choice is C, PTSD.
