PSEUDOBULBAR AFFECT (PBA), emotional lability, labile affect, or emotional incontinence refers to a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary crying or uncontrollable episodes of crying and/or laughing, or other emotional displays.

Episodes may also be mood-incongruent: a patient might laugh uncontrollably when angry or frustrated, for example.
