The phenomenon of mass hysteria

Often used psychologists so-called status of "mass hysteria" when trying to find explanations for things described as piercing or Mauraúah (according to the view of some), where not only occur on one person to being interpreted as a hallucination or an illusion or medical condition or psychological, but exceeded their occurrence to include a group of people like infection and epidemic hit the minds of affected in the state of their mental and physical at the same time, they could be "mass hysteria" is also a way for those who reject the things happening extraordinary Victvon Baltnzirat psychological and natural explanations but that may keep them away from reality sometimes.

In any case can not overlook the role of "collective hysteria" of the study, although a lot of reports that the method of spread in the group and its mechanism is still unclear to researchers, and in the history of a many of them as we have mentioned some examples, what is the hysteria first? (Image is a work of art entitled "mass hysteria" by Jeroen am old - Netherlands - 2010, a work of surreal pencil).

Use toddler hysteria as the word is a state of mind can not then control emotion. People who are described as "Hustiriun" often lose control of themselves as a result of a state of fear, the dominant may be due to multiple events in the past include some sort of acute conflicts, can the fear that is centered on the part of the body, or be a problem perceived in the mind What part of the body in the most common, or be a familiar complaint from a disease, as in mood disorders

Modern medicine generally uses the term "hysteria" only as a kind of diagnostic classification, and replace him as more accurate, such as somatization disorder Somatization Disorder, a process of reflection or expression of anxiety about physical symptoms. In 1980 the American Psychiatric Association formally changed the diagnosis of "hysterical neurosis variable" to "conversion disorder."

In the Western world until the 17th century, hysteria was referred to as a condition affecting women in particular, and be caused by disorders of the uterus (the word hysteria came originally from the word-pattern are Hastra "hystera" means "womb"). Due out of the term "hysteria" to Hippocrates, even if not being used in the literature known collectively as the "Hippocrates body."

 And indicates the body of Hippocrates to a variety of symptoms including choking and disease caused by Heracles (as supposed) the movement of a woman's uterus to different locations within the body resulting in her womb to make a light and dry due to lack of bodily fluids. It was recommended to pregnancy as a treatment for such symptoms, it appeared that sex (intercourse) Sthbll the uterus and facilitate the work of circulation within the body.

And is now considered by many the "hysteria" diagnosis has been passed down through generations, but it includes many of the various diagnoses, in particular due to the long list of possible manifestations, has been mentioned by specialists from the Victorian era in the list included 75 pages, however the list is considered complete.

 Characterize the current theories and terminology between the two types of mental disorders that previously qualified as 'hysteria', which are physical and schizophrenic disorders. And schizophrenic disorders include memory loss and wandering schizophrenic schizophrenic disorder schizophrenic identity and depersonalization disorder and does not provide otherwise.

In addition, we find some of the syndromes listed a particular culture, such as "attacks of nerves" that have been identified in the population Hispanic and spread in the movie "Almodovar", titled "Women on the verge of nervous breakdown" which is an example of psychological phenomena both types of physical and schizophrenic, where they were symptoms linked to psychological trauma.

Neurological research has shown recently that there are distinct patterns of brain activity associated with these regions and the disorders thought to be unconscious, they are not fabricated or within Altmard deliberate.

Uses the term hysteria is also in the phrase "mass hysteria" Mass Hysteria to describe the reactions of panic the public is however different names such as: the hysteria of the group or disease, the public is of origin, mental or group behavior obsessive is a psychological phenomenon social faultlines of the same symptoms hysterical in more than one person. A common example of mass hysteria is a group of people believe they suffer from the same disease or morbidity

I have had various incidents connected with the mass hysteria among them witch trials and conspiracies of a slave rebellion which events are best understood by the term "moral panic" in sociology (Asjuloggio), who is interested in studying the structure and evolution of human societies.

Also uses the term "mass hysteria" is usually to describe the waves of medical problems that are common among all reaction to the news articles. We find similar to the commonly used term "collective hysteria" refers to any type of phenomena "public wave", has already used the term to describe the general interest of the reports of unidentified flying objects (UFO) and the phenomenon of crop circles and other similar examples from time to time.

Start mass hysteria when the individual is ill or injured to hysteria over a period of stress, and symptoms appear after the initial symptoms are similar it begins to appear on others such as nausea, muscle weakness or seizures or headaches.

Do not, the features of mass hysteria any reasonable cause so far Voaradha vague and rising rapidly in the cases, spread mostly on the D of the places between people and the number of cases is higher in females and those who enjoy a lot of medical services, often attributed Views of the "miracles of religious "mass hysteria, according to the opinion of psychiatrists.

Whenever spread ideas is normal among the population burst of mass hysteria where it can erupt anywhere, at any time starting from the communities in which it is reported as "complex societies" to the maximum remote rural locations, Valhestiria collective madness fueled by a need for human innate to bypass reality worldly and recall the following examples

Occurred in July 1518 a state of dance craze in Strasbourg - France, where a lot of people went to the streets and started dancing without rest. Within a month he joined at least 400 people in Alriqsoawwada to provide remedies for them encouraged the authorities to further dance has opened new headquarters of the trade unions and market the grain in order to provide room for more dancers, so they set up a stage for this purpose. The reason was called on the authorities to do so due to thinking that only the dancers Sataavon Briqsm continued day and night. But in the end most of these people died as a result of heart attacks or strokes, or fatigue.

It is believed in recent years that the disease is of public origin psychological Mass Public Psychogenic Altzmmm and the fungus ergot (a disease of wheat) and neurological disorders explain the "plague of dance" this.

In November 1938 and received a series of notifications of attacks on the local population was mostly women in Halifax - England, where the victims claimed they were attacked by a mysterious man with a hammer and Abzima shining his shoes

After he came many of the victims, claiming they were attacked by a butcher that one of them admitted that they fabricated her, and later admitted to other victims in the same order, the police refused to discuss the issue after they saw as a "mass hysteria".

J Tanganyika - Tanzania in 1962, mass hysteria broke out the public with a disease or psychological origin MPI where it was said that it has received in the village overlooking the west coast of Lake Victoria.

In the beginning was a joke spoken in a boarding school and this joke has raised a small group of students they started laughing and laughing Vanchr spread so much that can no longer students of the whole school to stop laughing and eventually closed the school.

But the story does not end here, as the laughter spread to neighboring villages, schools and influenced thousands of people and after 6 to 18 months after the beginning of that strange phenomenon is over.

In June of 1962 a mysterious disease spread in the garment industry department of a textile factory in the United States and its symptoms include: numbness, nausea, dizziness and vomiting. It was said that the insect can bite their victims and then produce the symptoms listed quickly.

62 employees have been diagnosed with this mysterious disease while some were transferred to hospitals, media reported this case and after the investigation done by a number of specialists and experts from the center of the U.S. Public Health Service for infectious diseases have come to the conclusion that as a state of "collective hysteria".

While I think researchers that some workers exposed to bites of the insect that are likely to cause these symptoms with that there is no evidence whatsoever that the insect can cause some symptoms similar to cold symptoms (mentioned above) also did not see never any evidence on the effects of bites on the workers
