or M.M.S.
A severe mental syndrome characterized by excessive grinding of the
teeth and chewing of the jaw. Named after the famous actress
Mary McDonnell who developed this rare and unheard of syndrome during the shooting of the film "Donnie Darko" (her chewing is seen in the family dinner scene) Patients are usually extremely angry and unstoppable when having
MMS.
There is no cure for
MMS and comes and goes in various frantic episodes. Patients must usually be strapped down to prevent assault on others.
A typical episode characterizes the slight jaw movement on a patient. The patient loses his patience and begins eating extremely fast and angrily. MMS patients get extremely thirsty due to excessive chewing of the gums, so they typically angrily and quickly drink large amounts of
water in
short periods of time. The patient then gets impatient with everyone around him, usually succumbing to fits of rage and chewing on other
people. The MMS patient is fully aware of the oncoming and happenings of MMS, but they simply cannot control it. They typically leave or go for a run due to embarrassment. All of these characteristics of
Mary McDonnell Syndrome. The whereabouts of
Mary are still unknown today.
