Hysteria is a medical condition where a person experiences intense emotions or becomes excessively anxious or violent, often without being able to control these reactions. It can show up as sudden outbursts of emotion, such as crying or laughter, or physical symptoms like shaking or trembling. Hysteria can be triggered by various factors, including stress, trauma, or underlying mental health issues. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying causes through therapy, medication, or relaxation techniques. Early treatment and support are essential for managing hysteria and preventing further distress or harm.
