Post-traumatic Stress

What does the Bible say about Post-traumatic Stress?

The prophet Jeremiah is unique in that he spoke to God's people about the impending destruction of the Temple, witnessed it, ministered to God's people afterward, and even wrote a book about their pain. The book of Lamentations provides us with a look into the trauma experienced by the prophet and people when Babylon destroyed Jerusalem.
