Hysteria was historically diagnosed exclusively in women for a variety of symptoms and was treated by manual genital stimulation. While seen as a medical disorder, it is no longer recognized as such. The development of inexpensive vibrators allowed women greater access to treatment for hysteria symptoms, leading to the condition falling out of fashion as a diagnosis. By 1952, the American Psychiatric Association removed hysteria from its list of recognized diseases.
2. What is Hysteria?
Female hysteria was a once-common medical diagnosis, 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 including faintness,
nervousness, insomnia, fluid retention, muscle spasm, shortness of breath, loss of appetite
for food or sex, and "a tendency to cause trouble“. - DRAMA QUEENS!

3. History of Hysteria
• The history of the notion of hysteria can be
traced to ancient times; in ancient Greece it
was described in the gynecological treatises of
the Hippocratic corpus, which date from the
5th and 4th centuries BC. Plato's dialogue
Timaeus compares a woman's uterus to a
living creature that wanders throughout a
woman’s body, "blocking passages,
obstructing breathing, and causing disease."
4. Quoting Plato:
“the womb - the matrix of women - becomes a
wandering thing when the organ remains empty
beyond its proper time. Becoming “discontented and
angry,” it dries up, shrivels ups, and breaks loose from
its tethering – only to begin traveling about the body
in an upward direction – interfering with breathing
and circulatory function – driving the woman so
afflicted to every extremity, causing every kind of
disease – including strangulation if reaching the chest
- until such time as it has been sown and rendered
again content and docile. This “animal that longs to
generate children” if not constantly irrigated by males
and anchored by pregnancy causes the sufferer the
most extreme anguish and oddest behavior.”
5. Treatment!
Since ancient times women considered to be suffering from hysteria would
sometimes undergo “pelvic massage” — manual stimulation of the genitals
by the doctor until the patient experienced orgasm.
6. IMMUNE?!?!?!?
• Women though seemed to like
what was going on down there
(treatment) and they were
holding their Orgasm for longer
period of time!
• Doctors got bored….

8. Why a vibrator?
Hysteria was once the domain of upper class
women, those who had the means to undertake
costly medical treatments, but the invention of the
home vibrator had dramatically reduced the cost
of the “cure” so practitioners were less invested in
promoting hysteria as a disease. And as greater
awareness of the disease led to more middle and
lower class women diagnosed with hysteria, the
disorder simply began to fall out of fashion. In
1952 the American Psychiatrist Association
removed hysteria from its list of recognized
diseases.
