Most women in the nineteenth century were thought to have "hysteria", if they were psychologically sick (116). The symptoms of this included "nervousness, depression, fatigue, and general weepiness" (116). Causes for this were rare to come across, as well as the treatment plans for this (116). In some cases, women were "treated" by having cold or freezing water poured onto them (116). Further, this was oftentimes seen as a disease that would effect the upper classes, although immigrant women were sometimes diagnosed with hysteria (116). Readers can deduce that this can be, in part, due to the accessibility within both doctors and diagnoses.
