In anger / Prompted by rage
Definition

In psychopathology, clinical psychology, and forensic psychiatry, it describes acts, statements, or assaults committed during an intense affective state, where extreme rage temporarily narrows the field of consciousness and reduces the patient's capacity to control impulses or evaluate consequences.
