Physical signs include: unfounded fear and panic; shouting and/ or nonsensical speech; hallucinations, paranoia, or other strange behavior; hyperactivity or throwing themselves about, especially following restraint; unexplained strength and/or endurance; shedding cloths or nudity often due to feeling hot; and huge amounts of sweating.
