Hysterics in Malayalam

The word listed for hysterics is ഞരമ്പുരോഗം (naramburogam), literally nerve disease. It is an umbrella term that older Malayalam medical writing used for neuralgia, neurosis and nervous fits alike, so it is broader and vaguer than the English hysterics. Begin it with the n-plus-r sound of naram, meaning nerve.
