Excerpt
Loss of control generally refers to lack of the ability to provide conscious limitation of impulses and behavior as a result of overwhelming emotion. States of agitation such as fighting, screaming, and uncontrollable weeping are most often thought of as behavior illustrative of loss of control. Involuntary immobility due to extreme fear, as is seen at times after life-threatening catastrophes such as earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods, is also a form of loss of control. Such patients typically tremble and appear desperately frightened.
