Hysteric(al)?
Hello,
Can the above adjective refer to someone who doesn't suffer from such a psychiatric illness, just has a tendency to have sudden, annoying emotional outbursts out of the blue?
And does the expression "go into a tantrum" express such an outburst, too, well? (And isn't it informal or outdated?)
Please, could you let me know? Thanks!
