Is the gruelling considered the best treatment of hysteria?
I find your question enigmatic, however, hysteria has many causes and treatments. Far too many to name. Examples of hysteria: Mass hysteria, very difficult to treat and usually this event has to wind down on its own. Hysteria in the form of anxiety can be treated with benzodiazepines and other tranquilizers. If the hysteria is of a psychotic or manic form, it may take the combination of anxiolytics, mood stabilizers and anti-psychotics to bring the person down. Chronic hysteria, would be treated by working to determine the cause, ie; organic, mental or behavioral and form a treatment plan based on these findings.
