gone batshit

Lost all reason

Gone batshit describes someone who has become wildly irrational, unhinged, or erratic.

The phrase intensifies ordinary crazy—not just upset but completely unmoored from reason: She went batshit when she found out he'd been lying.

Often extended to gone batshit crazy for emphasis.

The bat imagery suggests frenzied, unpredictable behavior.
