For infants, the ability to cry out, since they have no other choice of communication, is an important aspect of communicating their needs to the world. Adults, on the other hand, would have other options to choose from, but often make use of this variant out of desperation, anger, frustration, and rage, which is a true "cry for help." Uncontrollable pain or, conversely, out of joy, someone can be tempted to a loud outcry. In anxiety-provoking situations, where panic spreads, one's voice may fail.
