Fun Fact! Hysteria was first attributable to women.
In the second millennium BC, ancient Egyptians described hysteria for the first time. The term 'hysteria' was coined by Hippocrates from the Greek adjective hysterikos, which means "from the womb." He blamed hysteria on the womb wandering within the female body, which caused anxiety, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, and a sense of suffocation. Hysteria was first associated with the brain in the 18th century, rather than the uterus. According to Sigmund Freud, it is caused by trauma and can affect both sexes. The DSM did not remove the concept of hysterical neurosis until 1980. Dissociative disorders are now thought to cause hysterical symptoms.
