When I read about the attributions and explanations that come off the term hysteria, I observe that since the end of the average age, this word used until then designating individual expressions, of certain called phenomena hysterical, moves towards collective manifestations, in the form of massive dances and other expressions, characteristic of that one Europe. Logically, the interpretation that in that period of history, becomes of the hysteria, is in accordance with the ideas about supernatural and the magician, that reigns about the mental disease, generally, in those times. With the course of the centuries and the scientific researches, there has been an opening of the conceptions and therefore, of the terms, to be able to try to think the question, the preoccupation, mainly from century XVI to the XX, where the idea of a psychic determination is introduced. It was the hysteria, the one that put to the medicine in the limits of its knowledge. The hysteria caused to confusion and disagreement.

It was gotten to say, that if to have movement own it is an indicator of certain animated thing, everything what one moves by itself is of rank ” animal” and it was gotten to call thus, recognizing in him, own movements of suppression, of precipitation, very showy muscular contractions: they even can be so violent that often they cause the loss of other senses, with movements as if outside one lipotmia, sncope, an epilepsy or apoplexy and, of sometimes true semjanza of a death.
