Mass Psychogenic Illness → Mass psychogenic illness –
Per WP:CAPS and WP:TITLE: this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Matches the formatting of related article titles.

This page uses a point of view and a set of terms, such as "hysteria," and "nervous system disturbance" which may be obsolete. It may need to be rewritten from a more objective point of view. Dratman ( talk) 14:40, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
I fixed the dead link, but the phrase "preponderance of female victims" oft-quoted in the article appears to be originally cited from the following article:

I might mess around and change this later (to be a more comprehensive reference), but can't right now, so if someone else would like to that would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.37.199.151 ( talk) 11:41, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Should the article not mention that mass psychogenic illness predominantly affects women? In particularly teenage girls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.29.42.19 ( talk) 16:54, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
I remember a particular incidence in Thailand probably dyring late 1950's. Newspapers reported a rapid outbreaks of boys and men suddenly finding their penises to be "permanently shrunk". The symptom was painless and was witnessed and photographed. It affected largely the north-eastern part if the country which was rural and very poor. It made panic causing headlines for several weeks. The health department came out to explain that the phenomenon was a mass psychogenic in origin and probably linked to some stress issues experienced in the communities. It was a male gender specific phenomenon. 2403:6200:8853:2BCD:F56F:8688:6BE4:D6E6 ( talk) 02:00, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
The article fails to note that MPI is not a recognised disorder in any field of medicine. Nor does it cite the extensive criticisms of MPI spanning over a century. Please place this article in the pseudoscience section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.100.55.130 ( talk) 04:37, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

@ BorgQueen, I noticed here that you reverted this edit by an IP user which changed "malays" to "males". Wouldn't "males" be the correct word to use in that paragraph? Deauthorized. ( talk) 20:55, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi folks,
I think this source and its subject should be included in the article.
