Are you saying that you think all these girls, at 50-60 schools across the entire country, who are displaying these symptoms, all at the same time, are suffering from... hysteria?
Psychosomatic illnesses spread very easily, through the same means other memetic changes spread.
Unfortunately many people mistakenly believe a psychosomatic illness isn't "real" - when professionals tell them "These people have a psychosomatic illness" what they hear is "These people are lying" which is not what was said, and so when the same professionals tell them, "You have a psychosomatic illness" they hear "You are lying" and they're angry - how dare these professionals accuse them of lying! They know it's real!
That honestly sounds way more plausible than Islamist hardliners poisoning 50-60 girls' schools without leaving any trace. Poisonings usually leave some biological marker and if it is people from the same group poisoning the schools it is odd that no one has been caught.

"Are you saying that there's some widespread campaign to poison girls, with incidenbts in 50-60 schools so far?" Doesn't sound much saner.
