Is schizophrenia simillar to hysteria

im scared that i suffer from hysteria not schizophrenia.i shake like crazy.

I feel sometimes the symptoms are a type of manic/mania feeling which are close. That’s when it’s good to listen to calming music and chill way out.

I thought it was hysteria for me after a while of having sz. Though it was just a phase… I soon realized that the voices surround you and that theirs nothing new about it.

I think it used to be called hysteria.

Hysteria was an official name for female sexual drive that was considered a disease in Victorian times. Doctors did something tingly to relieve it if you know what I mean. That’s the etymology of the word anyway.

Btw the way im not the one calling it hysteria,its the stupid culture that i live with.

I think hysteria is neurosis, and schizophrenia is psychosis. That’s two different things in my opinion.

I see no qualms with nitpicking language use. Its meaning is different today.
