Hysteria is an acute illness that starts under the action of psychiatric factors. The duration of the illness and the possibility of recurrence depend on the correct treatment after the illness and cannot be generalized. The course of hysteria varies with the clinical signs, such as emotional outbursts, disorders of consciousness, and convulsive episodes, which usually disappear within a short period of time, but patients often have a tendency to relapse. If the patient’s symptoms are mild and can be treated in a timely manner in the psychology department of a regular medical institution, the patient can usually be cured within 2 weeks, and the timely treatment includes psychotherapy, suggestive therapy and medication. In a few patients, if the disease lasts for a long time or recurs frequently, it is more difficult to treat and is prone to recurrence. If the patient does not receive timely and appropriate treatment and the disease is prolonged, the recovery time is longer and long-term treatment is required. Therefore, when patients have hysteria-like manifestations, such as strong performance colors, undressing and nudity, singing and dancing, possession experiences, such as claiming that a ghost or god is attached to their body to speak and do things, patients should be sent to the psychology department immediately to avoid delaying treatment.
