It’s called Pathological Laughter and Crying (PLC) , and it’s when a person can spontaneously burst into either laughter or tears at any given moment. There is no appropriate stimulus for such reactions, so it’s classified as a condition. It’s commonly associated with Alzheimer’s disease, strokes, and other brain diseases, so best to see the doctor if you’re often busting into random giggles or crying fits.
