Summary
In this Haunted History episode, we dig into Hysteria. The infamous diagnosis that turned women’s emotions, sexuality, and pain into a medical horror story. From ancient Greece’s myth of the “wandering womb” to the locked wards of 19th-century asylums, hysteria was never about healing women. It was about controlling them, silencing them, and punishing anyone who refused to conform. We also ask the unsettling question: has hysteria really disappeared, or is it still haunting us today under new names and modern disguises?
