I'm surprised that the entry for hysteria just talks about ancient treatments and doesn't look at "hysteria" in more recent eras. In the Victorian era, "hysteria" was not just a catch-all term for mental illness, but also a diagnosis for women who did strange things other than raising children and running the household, like pursuing the arts, social activism, or enjoying sex. Among treatments were "rest therapy" (an excellent piece is "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, showing just how mind-numbing that was), therapeutic orgasms, and clitoridectomy. Of course, none of the treatments really addressed any of the issues, but basically made a medical reason for men to keep women in the private sphere.
