Quinzel-Osborne Syndrome, sometimes called 'Joker Crazy' is a bizarre inappropriate response condition that some people experience when faced with horrific violence. Where the normal reactions are fear, disgust or anger, the Q-OS sufferer experiences exhiliration, which is often mistaken for exaltation, freedom, amusement, or even sexual arousal. When faced with extreme stress situations, especially violent ones, a Quinzel-Osborne Syndrome sufferer may lapse into a fugue state, where they break out laughing and attack the source of the stress. The fugue state is very much like a berserk; the subject experiences no fear or remorse or inhibition, and often displays incredible strength, speed and durability. In the fugue state, the subject is incredibly violent, with the violence ascerbating

  • Quinzel-Osborne Syndrome, sometimes called 'Joker Crazy' is a bizarre inappropriate response condition that some people experience when faced with horrific violence. Where the normal reactions are fear, disgust or anger, the Q-OS sufferer experiences exhiliration, which is often mistaken for exaltation, freedom, amusement, or even sexual arousal. When faced with extreme stress situations, especially violent ones, a Quinzel-Osborne Syndrome sufferer may lapse into a fugue state, where they break out laughing and attack the source of the stress. The fugue state is very much like a berserk; the subject experiences no fear or remorse or inhibition, and often displays incredible strength, speed and durability. In the fugue state, the subject is incredibly violent, with the violence ascerbating the neurochemical imbalance, the imbalance causing more exhiliration, which inspires more violence, in an escalating cycle of reinforcement. Once the fugue lapses, the subject may block out the entire incident, and claim that they weren't present when the atrocity happened. Others construct elaborate fantasies to justify the experience. Some actively seek out the fugue state, which becomes an addiction. Quinzel-Osborne Syndrome does not respond to Psychoanalysis, and chemical treatment has mixed results. The patient can be kept quiet and lucid, but there is no real observed recovery from the syndrome.
