What is Hysteria?Female hysteria was a once-common medical diagnosis, made exclusively in women, which is today no longer recognized by modern medical authorities as a medical disorder. Its diagnosis and treatment were routine for many hundreds of years in Western Europe.

Hysteria was widely discussed in the medical literature of the 19th century. Women considered to be suffering from it, exhibited a wide array of symptoms including faintness, nervousness, insomnia, fluid retention, muscle spasm, shortness of breath, loss of appetite for food or sex, and "a tendency to cause trouble“. - DRAMA QUEENS!

Tip:If you see

History of Hysteria

• The history of the notion of hysteria can be traced to ancient times; in ancient Greece it was described in the gynecological treatises of the Hippocratic corpus, which date from the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Plato's dialogue Timaeus compares a woman's uterus to a living creature that wanders throughout a woman’s body, "blocking passages, obstructing breathing, and causing disease."

Page 4: Hysteria presentation

Quoting Plato: “the womb - the matrix of women - becomes a

wandering thing when the organ remains empty beyond its proper time. Becoming “discontented and angry,” it dries up, shrivels ups, and breaks loose from its tethering – only to begin traveling about the body in an upward direction – interfering with breathing

and circulatory function – driving the woman so afflicted to every extremity, causing every kind of

disease – including strangulation if reaching the chest - until such time as it has been sown and rendered again content and docile. This “animal that longs to

generate children” if not constantly irrigated by males and anchored by pregnancy causes the sufferer the

most extreme anguish and oddest behavior.”

Treatment! Since ancient times women considered to be suffering from hysteria would sometimes undergo “pelvic massage” — manual stimulation of the genitals by the doctor until the patient experienced orgasm.

Why a vibrator?

Hysteria was once the domain of upper class women, those who had the means to undertake costly medical treatments, but the invention of the home vibrator had dramatically reduced the cost of the “cure” so practitioners were less invested in promoting hysteria as a disease. And as greater awareness of the disease led to more middle and lower class women diagnosed with hysteria, the disorder simply began to fall out of fashion. In 1952 the American Psychiatrist Association removed hysteria from its list of recognized diseases.
