How to use "Run amuck" in context?
When one person goes completely off the deep end, it's known as run amuck. This frenzy of uncontrolled or unplanned behavior can lead to chaos or destruction. In psychiatry, run amuck is also used to describe a mental health condition in which a person has a long-term, uncontrollable need to act out. It can be caused by a number of factors, such as an illness, a physical or emotional trauma, or an episode of intense anger or happiness.
If you find yourself in the middle of a run amuck frenzy, it's important to stay calm and try to understand what's driving you.
