What is cabin fever and how does it happen?
Hello, (ANS) The term “Cabin Fever” is the name given to a state of mind created when a person has been confined to the same physical surroundings for a prolonged period of time. **An example would be John McCarthe or Terry Waite when they were kidnapped by Islamic extremists in the Lebanon some years ago.
