Hysterical strength is human strength exhibited superior to expectations, commonly in a hysterical state. It can be seen when muscles violently contract when a person is electrocuted. The most common anecdotal example is of mothers lifting cars to rescue their children. Hysterical strength is also observed in people who have taken mind-altering substances. Torn muscles and damaged joints can result from hysterical strength.
