Diaphoresis is excessive sweating associated with things like shock or other emergency conditions. Diaphoresis doesn't only occur in emergency situations though, because it's also pretty common when eating spicy food, or even when someone experiences strong emotions like anger, fear etc. PTSD can cause diaphoresis when the patient remembers the past trauma.

Basically, Diaphoresis is excessive and profuse sweating.
