I've been H.A.D.

I'd like to propose a new category for the DSM-XIX: Hamsin Affective Disorder, exacerbated by Passover preparations.

Presenting case: Patient awakens to dishwasher parts strewn over the bathroom; floor covered with crayons, toys, papers and garbage bags; opened half-empty cabinets; counters covered with impossible-to-categorize items including bottles without covers, a six-year-old box of kosher gelatin, two half-open bottles of dish detergent, more dishwasher parts, and a bag of wrongly sized garbage bags.

Patient planned to escape and take assorted children to town to accomplish long-procrastinated errands, but when hit in the face by desert wind (that the forecaster assured her would be finished today), patient closed all her windows and shutters and seriously considered rolling into a ball and crying.
