Everyone knows the variety of symptoms and the freakishness of forms that are characteristic of hysteria; it seems that there is no organ that would not be amazed by it: all kinds of paresis, paralysis, changes in sensitivity, disorders in the administration of the organs of higher senses, etc. all this may be the result of the manifestation of hysteria; and it is good if certain symptoms appear in a limited number and are not expressed to a strong degree, but sometimes they can take such a complex and confusing combination that they present extraordinary difficulties on the one hand for a doctor in the field of diagnosis and therapy, and on the other - an unusually severe form of the disease for the patients themselves.
