hysteric
A hysteric is an individual who exhibits extreme, uncontrollable emotion or fear, often marked by irrationality, laughter, weeping, or other extreme behavior. The term comes from the now outdated medical diagnosis of 'hysteria,' which was thought to be a psychological disorder specific to women. Nowadays, it can refer to anyone, regardless of gender, who tends to react in an overly emotional or exaggerated way.
