Apocrisy

An overly exaggerated mindset or behaviour. Thinking that something is the apocalypse or acting like it is, even though it isn't necessarily one.
'The fat doctor thew a tantrum, while rolling around on the ground over accidentally dropping his glasses; some say that he was having an apocrisy.'

(The word, apocrisy is pronounced as 'ay-pock-crass-see'. It comes from a combination of the words, apocalyptic and crisis).
