<p>Named 2025 Ambies© Podcast of the Year, 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Binge all episodes of Hysterical exclusively and ad-free, right now on Wondery+.

From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived – and ask whether they have the rep they deserve. In the latest season, the podcast explores the legacy of Sigmund Freud. Hysterical has illustrated many of the outdated medical biases still shape women’s healthcare today – and Sigmund Freud’s ideas and theories about the mind form the basis of so much contemporary psychology. The very beginning of Freud’s interest in the way we think was inspired by his observations of so-called ‘hysterics’ and many of his most famous case studies focus on young women. Some people say that Freud was the first to take women’s mental health seriously but others point the finger at him as the architect of the idea that women were mentally fragile and in need of ‘curing’ by men who knew better.
