This has been handpicked by the TED staff, and we think that as a how to be a better human listener,

So enjoy this episode and head to the link in the description afterwards to hear even more.
This is TED Health, a podcast from TED, and I'm your host, Dr.
Shoshana Ungerleider.
I've spent enough time in hospitals to know that not every mystery ends up with a diagnosis,
and not every symptom fits neatly into a chart.
That's where Dan Tabersky comes in.
You might know him as the sharp, funny mind behind some of the most unexpected podcasts out there,
like Missing Richard Simmons and Running from Cops.
His latest series, Hysterical,
dives into one of the most perplexing medical stories in recent history.
In 2011, in Leroy, New York,
a group of girls began showing concerning symptoms, but no one could figure out why.
What starts in a high school becomes a case study in stress, stigma,
and the very real ways our bodies respond to the world around us.
In his 2025 TED Talk,
Dan draws on extensive research and intimate interviews with the people involved to explore the root of mass hysteria.
