In this episode, we discuss the supposed Ancient Greek origins of Hysteria, a common psychiatric diagnosis of females from the 18th to the early 20th century. We also cover how the symptoms of hysteria were interpreted in the Medieval era. NOTE: This episode contains discussions of female anatomy, masturbation, sex, misogyny and religious persecution.
