@greenflashlight said in RL Anger:

a person suddenly gains superhuman strength, becomes imperious to pain, and then dies for absolutely no reason

Without context, I'd probably chalk that up to a PCP overdose.

The only psychiatric or psychological assessment of 'excited delirium' I've been able to find is a statement by a police psychologist that says it's bullshit brainwashed into the police by Taser International.

Delirious mania, a similarly named but apparently unrelated condition of similarly dubious medical understanding (with journaled evidence dating back to 1849), does have some proponents in the psychiatric and psychological communities - more as strange combination of symptoms (delirium and mania) than a disorder in itself... you know, in case one googled it and got those two conflated.
