Evidence is presented that Alexander the Great, Captain James Cook, Emily Dickinson, and Florence Nightingale each developed symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder in the aftermath of repeated potentially traumatizing events of differing character. Their case histories also varied with respect to background, premorbid personality style, risk factors, clinical presentation, and course of the illness, illustrating the pleomorphic character of the disorder, as well as the special problems in diagnosing it in historical figures.
有证据表明，亚历山大大帝、詹姆斯·库克船长、艾米莉·狄金森和弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔在经历了一系列性质各异、可能造成创伤的事件后，均出现了与创伤后应激障碍相符的症状。他们的病史在背景、病前人格类型、风险因素、临床表现和病程方面也各不相同，这说明了该疾病的多形性，以及在诊断历史人物的这种疾病时所面临的特殊问题。
