Description
Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they’re far more connected than we realize.
From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.

Feels like they threw the last few episodes together becz they realized they didn't have enough episodes on the Leroy case. That got the bulk of the episodes and then other hysterical cases were added in a manner that seemed to be an afterthought and space filler. They could have rolled those items into 1 episode of "this has happened before all over".
Some of the episodes included mean comments by people being interviewed that were completely unnecessary. For example: Why include the comment from the mom who thought the boy would be in jail now? Or how all the girls thought he was weird? You could have easily made your point by just including the parts that said the girls that had it didn't believe him. The man clearly was going through things when he was a teen and had been given a diagnosis related to trauma. Here you are adding it back.
I know what goes into the ground during the FRACING process and that shit ain't good, trust me.

A very interesting well composed podcast! 5 stars
I'm Iranian and i live in iran...people and children died in those cases...and so many were shot on their way home from the school,elementary school children were shot in the head and worse...men on the bike were seen around those schools and hospitals were mostly under the regime's supervision...just because they announced they haven't find anything in their tests doesn't mean they were telling the truth...i would never consider that as hysteria
notice it never interrupts her speech, meaning in the middle of talking. that's seems controlled. at 1st look
tch
nice
