High Speed Stall

Can anyone be kind enough to explain the high speed stall to me please?

I imagine it's pretty much the same as what I know of as ' departure ', with the airflow going straight over the wing rather than behaving nicely and keeping in the laminar flow ?

How does one cope with it, stick out an airbrake or is there something better...

This is for academic interest only, rest assured I'm not about to fly anything fast, but do get to play / talk with an amateur simulator at a museum, so I try to be ahead of smart-ass cadets !
