Hysteria refers to dissociative disorders, a type of mental illness caused by psychological factors. It is a psychogenic condition typically managed primarily through psychotherapy, supplemented by medication. The details are as follows:
Dissociative disorders are mainly influenced by psychological factors, such as traumatic events or self-suggestion, which trigger the onset of illness. Patients may involuntarily or intermittently lose the integrative capacity of part or all of their psychological and physiological functions, resulting in disconnections in perception, memory, and behavior—this is known as a dissociative state. Because the triggering factors vary among patients with dissociative disorders, symptoms and signs also differ. Common manifestations include mood depression or euphoria, urinary or bowel dysfunction, paralysis, and others. Treatment may involve suggestion therapy under medical guidance, along with sedative medications such as sertraline hydrochloride, estazolam tablets, or sodium valproate dilute tablets. Patients should remain emotionally relaxed and actively regulate their mood.
In addition, with active and effective treatment, dissociative disorders generally have a good prognosis. Patients should maintain regular communication with others, adhere to a consistent daily routine, and attend regular follow-up appointments at the hospital.
