Temporary Insanity Snap

The Temporary Insanity Snap is a condition involving a person seemingly going 'temporarily insane'.

History
First reported in 1750, Psychologists observed a mental patient seemingly going from normal to insane for 3 minutes, then returning to normal. These Psychologists dubbed this condition the 'Temporary Insanity Snap'. This discovery was accepted for over 200 years.

In 1984, aspiring British Psychologist Doctor Daniel Murray discovered through tests on mental patients that the condition was not 'temporary', and was in fact a 'short burst' of insanity due to patient attempting suppress their lack of sanity to appear normal.

After this discovery, many campaigned to change the condition's name. But out of respect for the 1750 Psychologists, the government refused to change its name. However, it is now more widely known as the Short Insanity Burst, even if its official name has not changed since its discovery.

Effects
Through Doctor Murray's tests, he observed that patients had no regard for physical pain, and appeared to be almost animalistic in nature until returning to normal. One patient attempted to attack and kill one of the more cruel security guards, but was subdued. Daniel, through interviewing the patient prior to the incident, found out that he wanted to kill the guard due to the apparent abuse that he was suffering from at the hands of the guard. Doctor Murray came to the conclusion that, when under this insane state, sufferers of the conditon carry out their hostile desires.
