Indeed, bromides had entered medical practice in 1857 when Charles Locock, a London physician, described how he had used potassium bromide to treat a patient with "hysterical epilepsy." He went on to say that he had even tried it "in cases of hysteria in young women, unaccompanied by epilepsy," finding it "of the greatest service." In Victorian times, "hysteria" was a common diagnosis in young women and was thought to be caused by some disturbance in the womb. (The term itself derives from the Greek "hysterikos" meaning "of the womb.") It didn't take long for potassium bromide to be established as a treatment for various nervous conditions.
