20th Century Section Addition

I wanted to preface this by saying that it's good that the article is heavily focused on psychologists and what they thought would help cure female hysteria, since they are a big part of the topic. I've noticed that there wasn't very much mentioning the women who would be afflicted with hysteria and the impact that this had on them throughout the article. So this is what my addition to this section will be focused on. FluffyTeaPancakes (talk) 16:34, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
