Stir crazy (condition)
:''This articles describes the psychological condition. For other meanings see Stir crazy (disambiguation).''
Stir crazy is a phrase that dates to 1908 according to the Oxford English Dictionary〔"Stir, ''n''.3" Oxford English Dictionary online, accessed June 30, 2007.〕 and the online Etymology Dictionary. Used among inmates in prison, it referred to a prisoner who became mentally unbalanced because of prolonged incarceration. The term "stir crazy" is based upon the slang ''stir'' (1851) to mean prison. It is now used to refer to anyone who becomes restless or anxious from feeling trapped and even somewhat claustrophobic in an environment, perceived to be more static and unengaging than can any longer continue to hold interest, meaning, and value to and for them.
"Stir crazy" could be classified as a more specific form of boredom, but combined with elevated and often increasing levels of anxiety, frustration, agitation, fidgeting, manic depressive type mood swings, and accessory episodes of acting out violently or otherwise antisocially on those feelings, the longer the unengaging non-stimulating environment is persisted in.
