AIM
The aim was to study the clinical presentation and factors contributing to "recurrent mass hysteria" among rural schoolgoing children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A visit to a school in a remote hilly district of Puythan, Nepal, was carried out to assess students experiencing mass dissociative/conversion symptoms over a short period of time. There was a second incidence of "mass hysteria" on the day of visit. Regular follow-up of these students was done telephonically for the next 1 year.
RESULTS
The total number of child victim of "mass hysteria" was 47, with majority of them being girl students. Historically, at least two more attacks of "mass hysteria" were noted in the schoolchildren in the preceding years. Follow-up study revealed no further attacks of similar "mass attacks" over the following 1 year.
CONCLUSION
Supporting, assuring, counseling, and educating these children, their parents and teachers and conducting public awareness programs are the mainstay of treatment of mass hysteria.
目的
旨在研究农村学龄儿童“反复群体性癔症”的临床表现及相关因素。
材料与方法
对尼泊尔普伊坦偏远山区的一所学校进行走访，以评估在短时间内出现群体性分离/转换症状的学生。走访当天发生了第二起“群体性癔症”事件。在接下来的1年里通过电话对这些学生进行定期随访。
结果
“群体性癔症”的儿童受害者总数为47名，其中大多数是女学生。从历史上看，前几年该校学生中至少还发生过两起“群体性癔症”发作。随访研究显示，在接下来的1年里没有再次发生类似的“群体性发作”。
结论
支持、安抚、咨询和教育这些儿童、他们的父母和教师，并开展公众意识项目是群体性癔症治疗的主要方法。
