Symptoms of hysteria may improve after a crisis, however, it is common for them to come back shortly thereafter, especially in very stressful situations.
Thus, to prevent symptoms of hysteria from recurring frequently, it is advisable to consult a psychologist for a long-term treatment that helps develop ways of dealing with stressful moments without the appearance of hysterical symptoms.
The most commonly used treatments include:
- Psychotherapy: is done in the psychologist's office through conversations that help the patient find ways to relieve stress and anxiety without developing symptoms;
- Physiotherapy: help relieve the consequences of some symptoms of hysteria, such as decreased muscle strength due to frequent paralysis;
- Anxiety Remedies: Some remedies like Alprazolan and Pregabalin may be prescribed by a psychiatrist to help relieve the constant feeling of anxiety by avoiding stress crises that can lead to the onset of hysteria symptoms.
In addition, when these techniques do not show the expected results, the physician may also recommend brain stimulation with small shocks to alter the brain's chemical processes and avoid excessive stress.
All of these techniques can be used separately or in combination with each other, depending on the patient's symptoms and the results achieved.
