Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst[82]rie. See       {Hysteric}.] (Med.)       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.          Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of                the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,                and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the                throat. The affection presents the most varied                symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest                diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment                alone.
