hysteria
Hysteria is a psychological condition characterized by excessive emotional or physiological response to stimuli. It can manifest as uncontrolled fear, laughter, crying, anger, or other intense emotions, and in some cases, physical symptoms such as tremors, paralysis or fainting. The term is less commonly used in modern psychology, often replaced with more specific diagnoses. Historically, it was associated with conversion disorder and somatoform disorders.
Webster Dictionary
Hysterianoun
a nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women, in which the emotional and reflex excitability is exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished, so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into paroxism or fits
Etymology: [NL.: cf. F. hystrie. See Hysteric.]

Hysteria
Hysteria, in its colloquial use, describes unmanageable emotional excesses. People who are "hysterical" often lose self-control due to an overwhelming fear that may be caused by events in one's past that involved some sort of severe conflict. The fear can be centered on a body part, or most commonly, on an imagined problem with that body part. Disease is a common complaint; see also Body dysmorphic disorder and Hypochondriasis. Generally, modern medical professionals have given up the use of "hysteria" as a diagnostic category, replacing it with more precisely defined categories such as somatization disorder. In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association officially changed the diagnosis of "hysterical neurosis, conversion type" to "conversion disorder".
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Hysteria
Historical term for a chronic, but fluctuating, disorder beginning in early life and characterized by recurrent and multiple somatic complaints not apparently due to physical illness. This diagnosis is not used in contemporary practice.
