When your child is physically, mentally or emotionally growing and temporarily regresses. Some forms of regression might be tantrum throwing, babbling nonsensical words, eating/sleeping a lot, and driving you and your childcare providers crazy. Similar to premenstrual syndrome, GSS comes in cycles and can be before, during or after a growth spurt...causing great confusion to you, and making you question everything about your own coping skills.
GSS remedies are bubbles, puppies, unicorns, sleeping and eating. Key identifiers are: You no longer know your child. You find yourself clawing at the walls. Your child has bigger chipmunk cheeks, is eating a lot and/or wants to go to sleep. Positive attributes: Your child is growing & learning.... and it is only temporary. :-)

Tyler is going through a major growth spurt syndrome (GSS). Tyler just bit the neighbor's child and is crying babbling words, I am hoping it is his growth spurt syndrome and not an ongoing thing. I don't even know who my child is when they have growth spurt syndrome GSS. Patience is watching my child going through GSS.

Not to be used on anyone genuinely struggling with serious issues; A White girl that milks/exploits being part of an oppressed community (such as being LGBTQ+, having a mental health problem, having a non-White partner, or being "not like other girls") to unjustly scapegoat themselves out of situations, mooch off of other people's kindness or generosity, manipulate others, or cause unnecessary problems with people to make themselves look like a victim.

My wife Beverly and I were in the car, I was at least 10 car lengths behind the car and front of me and they tapped their brakes. Immediately Beverly slammed on the passenger floor board, crossed her arms over her face and screamed. Clearly she forgot to take her Passenger Seat Turretts Syndrome medication...

Women diagnosed with this are usually screechy, middle aged black women who make a scene in public over anything ranging from a service dog being in a restaurant to being an alleged victim of "racial profiling." These women will pull the race card when people see through their crap. Like Paranoid White Woman Syndrome, this is not meant to be a racist term.
Me: Why is that woman yelling like that?
Guy: I don't know, Angry Black Woman Syndrome maybe?
Me: She needs to chill.

(a new, mythical, mental disorder defined after Donald Trump won the presidency on Nov 8, 2016): a type of depression among voting age young adults 18-45, following the loss of your favorite political candidate at the federal elections, so severe that you are not socially, academically or legally functional anymore
Most left-leaning liberal social scientists, academics and pundits don't understand that IMHO this new, mythical post-election depression syndrome can actually be very easily cured; all one needs to do is consciously and rationally realize that your candidate lost and that retargerous actions such as civil disobedience, general violence, vandalism, destruction of property and other related forms of social protest are meaningless, making it more likely that you will get a file with the Unforegiveables.
