Affect Pseudobulbaire 

Uploaded on Sep 10, 2008

Le syndrome pseudobulbaire est à la neurologie ce que la labilité émotionnelle est à la psychiatrie : un état dans lequel le patient est submergé par certaines réactions émotionnelles, notamment les pleurs et les rires.

KQED a réalisé une vidéo dans laquelle Matt Chaney nous est présenté. Ce patient est atteint d'une sclérose latérale amyotrophique.

SSTattler - Translate by Google:

"Pseudobulbar affect is the neurology that emotional lability is psychiatry: a state in which the patient is overwhelmed by some emotional reactions, including crying and laughter." 

"KQED has made a video in which Matt Chaney is presented. This patient is suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis."

Pseudobulbar Affect (Pathological Laughter) 

Uploaded on Apr 22, 2011

My buddy, Scott, as he gets overcome by a fit of unprovoked and uncontrollable laughter. Fortunately this episode occurred in the relatively private confines of my vehicle, but other times can be less appropriate (out for lunch, during meetings, sex, etc.). This rare, often painful symptom of multiple sclerosis is also known commonly as pathological laughter, or in medical terminology, as Pseudobulbar Affect.
