Women's hysteria is one of the problems that was considered several thousand years ago. But what exactly is hysteria and is this state normal for women?
A few facts from the history
For the first time, the legendary physician Hippocrates was engaged in the study of hysteria, who named this phenomenon from the Latin word "uterus", which means "womb". According to Hippocrates, the uterus is moved around the female body and gets stuck in the organs, causing various feelings and symptoms of the disease.
But the main idea of hysteria was worked out, of course, in the enlightened 20th century. Her studies dealt with Freud, Jung. Moreover, almost all specialists involved in the study of the human psyche gave part of their lives to the study of hysteria, but they could not clarify the problem.
Hysteria: is it good or bad?
Even today, every specialist treats hysteria in his own way. So, some of them consider this state as a deviation from the norm, but the majority of the researchers came to the conclusion that this is a quite useful emotional state.
Especially important is the manifestation of emotions for women, who are much weaker than men physically, but at the same time they must have some other opportunities to influence the environment. This reaction just creates the feeling that before us is a special woman with her own individuality, capable of influencing not only the environment, but also to change her personal state.
In what cases is hysteria manifested?
Studying of hysterical states it is necessary to begin sdetstva. It turns out that every kid, regardless of his gender, has a so-called hysterical reaction mechanism, which allows him to quickly adapt to the environment and quickly learn it, and most importantly, to obtain huge amounts of knowledge. It is hysteria that is one of the mechanisms that gives children the opportunity to receive and process up to 7 years such an array of information that a person can overcome from the age of 7 until the end of life.
For women, the hysterical response mechanism allows, first of all, to know the world around without its awareness. If information passes through consciousness, a woman begins to analyze it, then knowledge is acquired in a much smaller volume. That is why hysteria is not a pathology or a sign of a disease of the nervous system.
Of course, most often we rely on everyday hysterical situations, saying that this or that woman is a hysterical person, a psychopath who can not calmly react to the situation and achieve her other, painful methods. Especially such statements we hear from those who observe how a woman expresses her emotions.
But if you look at the situation from the other side, it turns out that hysteria - this is the component of every woman, without which it is difficult to rank among the representatives of the fair sex.
You saw absolutely rational, not able to show your emotions in public, women, who themselves suffered from this? The truth is, they do not differ much from men.
It turns out that hysterical notes in the character - it's like the difference of personality, which allows a woman to skillfully influence the environment in general, and in particular men.
There is a hypothesis that in the animal kingdom there are substances called pheromones, which attract individuals of the opposite sex. Such zhemehanizmom in human nature can be considered hysteria, which is a kind of tax pheromone, which attracts attention, being skillfully used in communicating with others.
Another question is that there are such women who, too often and not very skillfully, show their hysterical nature, and their communication becomes too tiring. If, however, hysteria is shown quite calmly, gently, then it can be associated with the art of women acting on the people around.
Note that in the early 90's hysteria was excluded from the international classification of diseases, which means that even an overly emotional woman who reacts violently to the situation is considered to be adequate medicine. Practice shows that moderately hysterical lady is able to cause a genuine interest in men, while freaky people will get a minimum of attention.
