Isn't that just gonna keep the patients in constant fight-or-flight mode? Perhaps developing PTSD or something over time...

With soldiers it makes sense to use it explicitly to enforce the "fight" mode as needed. This can range from "occasionally in emergencies" to "all the time".

But militaries have famously not cared about the long term health and well being of their forces past their active use. So any consequence of "long term fight mode" past victory day are just the cost of doing business.

"Your injuries were not service related."
“Victory day” lol, I think the only one I’ve been alive for so far was “Mission Accomplished”
It's only constant if you constantly administer it
Sounds like a secondary concern to me /s
