Hysteria

Have you ever seen people imagine themselves into hysteria, due to social pressures?

An example is feeling the presence of the Lord in a gospel church. Another, closer to home, is the quasi religious experience supposedly found in the tainting of food with truffles.

It’s a cross between bullshit, hysteria and a desperate desire to belong; is there an English word that describes this phenomenon?
