Hysteria Common for Women
Female hysteria was a once-common medical and 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 such as faintness, nervousness, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in abdomen, muscle spasm, shortness of breath, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, and "a tendency to cause trouble". Most acted somewhat bizarre and with high theatricality, not unlike the clothes that fashion dictated women should wear.
The supposed problem? Woman's small size and supposed governance by their reproductive systems. That's right. Women acted crazy because their womb overrode the power of their brains. The word even comes from the Greek word hysteria for womb.
