Female Hysteria Treatment - Reason for Female Hysteria

 In the mid-19th century, Silas Weir Mitchell created the “rest cure” as a treatment of hysteria. Mitchell believed hysteria was caused by overstimulation of the mind, which women couldn't tolerate because they didn't have the capacity. If prescribed the remainder cure, a lady would be confined to bed, force-fed rich, fatty foods, massaged, and electro-shocked (in some cases).
