This is interesting.
In Denmark we discuss the World War II and the nazioccupation a lot
(a trauma that really never seems to heal ).
Recently there was a book about how people in average reacted on the situation (being occupied).
The authors described an interesting pattern.
Diagnosis like depression, neurasthenia ( that is an “old name” for what we today call
fibromyalgia and CFS ) was significant reduced. People actually were less bedridden of this kind of problems/symptoms.
I guess the war was an extremely strong distraction. It also somehow made people gather together -they felt united. And they felt that their life had a purpose - to fight Hitler.
Nobody wants the nazis back (well actually some people in Europe DO and that is very frightening).
But the pattern is interesting. What can we learn from this. How can we use this knowledge when we try to heal ?
