*State of uncontrollable anger (8)

I believe the answer is:

apoplexy

(Other definitions for apoplexy that I've seen before include "Incapacity due to extreme anger" , "Speechlessness caused by fury" , "Eruption of furious anger (colloq.)" , "Rush of blood to the head, or a stroke" , "Sudden paralysis and loss of feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
