The agitation of the spirit is called frenzy.
The term frenzy comes from the Latin phrenēsis ( "delirium" ), whose origin dates back to a late Greek word. The concept makes reference to the agitation or shock of the mood , to a state of excitement or exacerbation , or to a certain type of delirium .
Frenzy is associated with an impulse that cannot be contained or interrupted . Its meaning, however, varies according to the context. For psychiatry , frenzy is linked to a mental state of confusion generated by agitation . For example: "When he saw his mother's corpse and was in a frenzy, he began to beat the intruder until he died," "He did his best to resist but finally failed: the man succumbed to the stimuli and surrendered to the frenzy." » .
Frenzy is also related to enthusiasm : "Gabriel danced frantically all night and woke up with a bad headache," "Andrea moved frantically, as if trying to get rid of something that was disturbing her."
Song «Frenzy»
We cannot ignore that in the musical field there is a song titled "Frenesí" that has managed to become one of the most listened to pieces in history. The Mexican composer Alberto Domínguez Borrás was the one who created this cha-chachá that has had many versions around the world.
Cliff Richard, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Plácido Domingo and Los Panchos are some of the performers who have included different but equally emotional versions of this song in their recordings.
Frenzy can be linked to enthusiasm.
