you'r probably thinking of shell shock or grenade shock. A post traumatic disorder probably.
If you had been in continuous combat in the horrible trench warfare conditions of the time you would understand. The doctors at the time thought ihe disorder was just due to hearing exploding shells and feeling the blast waves pass over the trench nonstop, thus they called it "shell shock". Now it is called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is known to be caused by any extreme usually very emotional stress (e.g. combat, rape, assault during a robbery, bad car accidents).
