Entgleisen

Entgleisen (pronunciation: ent-gly-sen) is a German term used in the medical field, particularly in psychiatry. It is used to describe a situation where a patient's mental or physical health condition deteriorates rapidly or goes out of control.

Etymology

The term 'Entgleisen' is derived from the German language, where 'ent-' means 'out' and 'gleisen' means 'rails'. In a literal sense, it means 'off the rails', symbolizing a situation that has gone out of control.
