Basic information

These symptoms may occur or worsen, or be alleviated or disappear due to suggestion. The incidence and symptoms of hysteria change with the evolution of times and environment. Compared with other countries, the incidence of this disease in our country has been greatly reduced. In ancient times, it was believed that only women suffered from hysteria. Later, it was discovered that men could also suffer from hysteria, but the total number of female patients was greater than that of male patients. A 1982 mental illness survey in 12 regions of my country showed that the prevalence of this disease was 3.55‰, higher in rural areas than in urban areas, and the age of onset was mostly between 16 and 30 years old.

Hysteria is a purely psychological disease. Judging from the personalities of these patients, most of them are aggressive, self-centered, emotionally unstable, suggestible, and dependent. Once they encounter strong emotional stimulation or other inducements, they are prone to hysterical attacks. Hysterical attacks have two forms of manifestation: conversion reaction and dissociative reaction. Conversion reaction refers to the conversion of a certain disease in the mind into symptoms of an organic disease in the body. In other words, there is no disease in the body, but it manifests as if there is a real disease.

Correction method

Use scientific knowledge to eliminate negative suggestions

Hysteria is a psychological disease caused by the suggestion of certain inducements, in which social and cultural factors play an important role. At present, hysterical patients are mostly found in remote rural areas where cultural and educational undertakings are underdeveloped, where scientific knowledge is not yet popular and many people still believe in gods and ghosts. Therefore, they are easily susceptible to negative suggestions and suffer from hysteria. There are also hysterical patients in the city, but the differences in cultural and educational levels can also be seen. This means that the more scientific knowledge one has and the more materialistic the world view one has, the less likely one is to suffer from hysteria.

Let go of your psychological burden and live a relaxed life

Hysteria often occurs on the basis of a special personality, due to acute or prolonged psychological stress and the involvement of other factors. Acute stress and stimulation, such as earthquakes, floods, sudden death of loved ones, war, etc., and the stress caused by long-lasting psychological conflicts such as being falsely accused, slandered and criticized, which hurt self-esteem and are humiliating, or disagreements with classmates, strained relationships with parents, etc. can all cause psychological pressure and lead to mental illness. The onset of the disease is essentially a release of mental emotions and an act of social escape. Once they feel they can no longer bear the various pressures from society, they "escape into illness" in order to gain sympathy, care and understanding from others. During extremely cruel wars, some soldiers were prone to hysteria resulting in limb paralysis, but most of them recovered without treatment once the war was over. It can be seen that psychological pressure has a great negative impact on people. In order to prevent the occurrence of hysteria, we should eliminate the depression in our hearts. Since everything has happened, we should accept it bravely, let go of the psychological burden, face the reality, and regain the courage to live. Our parents gave us life, so we should cherish it, love ourselves, live well, and live every day well, so that our life will not be in vain. Life is short. If you have to spend your whole life in worry, tension, anxiety, and sorrow, then why bother? Why not make yourself happy?

Know yourself and admit your shortcomings

People with hysterical tendencies are always self-centered, like to perform in public, and always boast about their intelligence and talent. They are overly eager to get everyone's praise or attention. At the same time, they are also envious and jealous of others, like to brag, and like to attract attention. You can analyze whether you have these weaknesses based on the above personality traits of hysteria and overcome them. Sun Tzu once said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat." This saying can be used to guide yourself in overcoming mental illness and maintaining mental health. Mental illness is often caused by not being good at understanding oneself, or not being able to understand oneself correctly, which is a major weakness of people. Generally, people are more aware of their strengths, but always lack self-awareness of their weaknesses. You should not only understand yourself, but also calmly admit your shortcomings. Only in this way can you learn from others with an open mind, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. You will not deceive yourself, feel that you are "unappreciated" and become cynical, adding to your anxiety, resentment and pain.

Why not use confident words to guide and encourage yourself?

In psychotherapy, verbal suggestion is a commonly used method. The doctor gives a hypnotist a glass of boiled water and says to him, "You are drinking a sweet and delicious drink." The hypnotized person will show a satisfied and happy expression. As a result, the percentage of sugar in the blood of the hypnotized subjects also increased accordingly. So you should guide and encourage yourself with positive and confident words, and you will find that things will get better and better.
