>>am looking for the technical medical term that is the male-specific equivalent for the female-specific term "hysteria"<<
I believe this might be tricky, due to the gender specific origins of the term, syndrome, and procedures enacted to cure it.
I heard an academic read a paper on the radio, though, who referred to radio talk back hosts as "male hysterics" and encouraged others to appropriate the term. I'll ask someone I know who is researching "hysteria", may take a few days.
