Stress, anxiety, and trauma play the main role in hysteria. The trauma can be caused by emotional, physical, sexual.

Hysteria can cause various manifestations involving anxiety, fainting, emotional outbursts, irritability, headaches, dizziness, unstoppable crying or laughing, loss of appetite, nervousness, shortness of breath, insomnia, hallucination, and loss of sensation. No significant diagnosis is available to confirm hysteria.
