Are there any really good synonyms for 'hysteria' though, to describe a sort of crazed panic around a certain subject?

If only we had a means of searching for such synonyms in an online reference book.

I had a quick search, but nothing stood out as a particularly great replacement, hence the question

Rave, Riot, Hullabaloo

Well, we saw ‘Covid Raves’ and ‘Covid Riots’, but they’re quite different things to ‘Covid Hysteria’.
