It has not been "debunked", it's not used as a diagnosis anymore. There are still people who display the same symptoms, we just treat them in a more refined manner now.

That does not contradict anything I wrote. It's just a slightly different phrasing of my first sentence.

You know that female hysteria has long been debunked as a myth right?

Nah, just renamed to HPD (Histrionic Personality Disorder) - a condition predominantly but not exclusively limited to females.
