ps.
hysteria其表現為在一定精神狀況或存在外部誘因的情況下,病人由於恐懼而無法控制自
己的行為。發病年齡多數在16至30歲之間,女性遠多於男性。希臘文hystera(子宮),
古代西方人認為此症病患所以會呈現出奇怪各式各樣的症狀是因為子宮在女性體內四處移
動所導致的。
譬如典型的歇斯底里球是一種在病人的喉嚨部位發生的急性阻塞感,它使病人既無法說話
又會引起嘔吐現象,好像有一個球升到喉嚨那裡,於是大家就認為這種征侯是因為子宮壓
迫到喉嚨而引起的。
此外由於歇斯底里症病患會呈現一些如痙攣、月經不順、噁心、嘔吐、頭痛、頭昏、全身
乏力等的症狀,而且多發生於年輕未婚女性中,因此大家較易以子宮的移動來說明此症,
並根據子宮的原名來為此症命名。
