Gladiator’s Syndrome

Gladiator’s Syndrome (noun)

A psychological and neurological condition affecting retired fighters and combat athletes, marked by a profound identity crisis, emotional instability, and early neurocognitive decline following the end of a competitive career. Symptoms may include depression, anxiety, mood swings, memory issues, social withdrawal, and a loss of purpose.

Often triggered by the sudden transition from a high-adrenaline, high-respect lifestyle to ordinary civilian life, Gladiator’s Syndrome reflects the emotional and mental cost of going from warrior to forgotten.
