Hysteria is contagious just look at the dancing plague of 1518 (link below). Hysteria spreads like wild fire and it is far more prevalent in females than in males so why do we allow seriously mentally ill people to walk the streets and spread their mental illness? This is comparable to letting someone walk the streets with HIV+ period blood on their hea… wait, really that actually happened? omg we're fucked.

Hysteria was just redefined as somatic syptom disorder (a group of disorders that appear to have no root cause). These disorders are common among people who have experienced extreme trauma such as hysterical blindness in combat troops or somatization disorder after sexual trauma (causes the person to experience tremors and erratic speech for an undetermined amount of time).
The worst of these though is probably psychogenic seizures which are seizures that cause symptoms and the feeling of a seizure without any if the electrical activity in the brain changing.
