A History of Female Hysteria: Neurosis, Witches, and Humours Oh My! ft. Mayu

A History of Female Hysteria: Neurosis, Witches, and Humours Oh My! ft. Mayu

Hot Girl Historian Mayu returns to speak on the first mental disorder attributed to women: hysteria, aka the daughter's disease, aka the madness of love! We start in 2000 BC with Hippocrates' idea of hysteron, move to Galen and Soranus' thoughts on how to deal with venomous humours coming from "bad" uteruses, then entertain the feminization of madness at the beginning of the 19th century and Freud's psychoanalytical views, and end with our thoughts on today's TikTok girlies calling themselves delulu.

We examine questionable theories on the prevalence of hysteria in women living in non-western societies, the role syphilis played in hysteria diagnoses, and the reasons why hysterical neurosis was only deleted from the DSM in 1980.

TW: mention of mental illness and its consequences (hospitalization, suicide, murder) and medical and non-medical abuse toward women.
