Calling it an overreaction rather defeats the purpose of something being out of the blue. He is, after all, reacting to something. Perhaps he's reacting too drastically, but he's still reacting to something that evokes a change in his behaviour.
I wouldn't say it's entirely sudden either. There have been quite a few hints coming up to this that goes as far back as the summer villa episode. Ami teases out hints of some possible problem between Kitamura and the student council when she tells him that he's surprised Kitamura came along.
At the end of the cultural festival, there's some tension between Kitamura and Sumire as she talks about how she's going to be gone next year. Then in the previous episode, we know that Kitamura and Sumire have a serious discussion that leaves him a dazed stupor when Taiga finds him.
I think you might also be mistaking time (which is restricted in a television show) with actual changes in a person's behaviour.
Consider, for example, the five stages of loss and grief: denial/isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This is a list of behaviours in stages, not a time line.
