How to use "Paroxysm" in context?
When something sudden and intense happens, we call it an "episode." These episodes can last anywhere from a few minutes to hours or even days, and they can come in waves. Different episodes can have different causes, but they all share one common symptom: a sudden burst of intense emotions or action.
The term "paroxysm" was first used in medicine to describe these episodes. Paroxysms are really just a fancy word for "spontaneous outburst." They can occur anywhere in the body, but they're most commonly seen in the brain and the chest.
