The Shaod is a deeply trasformation, probably may heal also the mind. We had other example of powerful mind healing in the Cosmere (and therefore as spoiler I don't write it on this topic).

 

We had from the book at least 2 case of mental healing trhough become Elantrian. One of course is Raoden but he had a little recover prior the restoration of Elantris thanks to the Pool. The other is the Kiin's child (I don't remember the name). That after become a full Elantrian have his mind restored and (if i don't remember wrong) his condition was his and he didn't develop through the Hoed status.

We see a little bit of what happens to one Hoed here.

Looks like there is some healing but they do remember would be my guess still.  PTSD would probably be a safe opinion.

Adien was Kiin's kid.  And for the most part, if they weren't burnt to ash before the transformation was completed, they came back fully healed of everything.  If it was healed to the Spiritual or Cognitive Ideal, like the Returned of Nalthis, then PTSD would be cured, as would most mental maladies.

For the record, Aiden was autistic. This was somehow healed with Elantris, but I don't claim to know exactly how.
