Students from high pressure prep schools often have PTSD. It's what happens when a disciplined person is psychologically broken, but he can't resolve his experience the way normies can. Hypertrophy of the superego, suppressed ego, stiff upper lip, etc. They can consciously tell you they are fine, and believe it, but the nightmares just keep coming back.

Based on men living 7-8 years shorter than women, it's probably far more common than acknowledged in a lot of professions. Women are wired to avoid stoicism, probably because excess stoicism is devastating to fertility. The sexual side effects of PTSD are the least talked about and usually the biggest problem.
