I've seen stories that attempt to use fully modern diagnostic terms for stories set in the 1800s and... yeah, no. Even trying to describe them without using the specific term feels very modern, and portraying everyone as having modern attitudes about mental illness, sexual trauma, mental and/or physical disabilities... that's going to be a real stretch in an era where we KNOW how someone with a mental illness was treated, and the truth is very sad and not at all romantic.
