MENTAL BREAKDOWN
A nervous breakdown is not a clinical term, but can apply to many different situations in which someone begins to exhibit symptoms of different mental illnesses, or heavy emotional stress.Those undergoing high levels of stress, for example after the death of a parent, spouse, or child, or who have been through a messy divorce are more likely to have a “nervous breakdown” if they are predisposed toward certain mental illnesses. As well, even those who do not have a predisposition toward mental illness can have a nervous breakdown if they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD can manifest years after a single traumatic event, and may be triggered by a situation that seems similar. With those who have undergone trauma, early counseling can help prevent a nervous breakdown.
Thus symptoms may differ for describing a nervous breakdown, but one can look for the following behaviors as possible symptoms that might precipitate a psychotic episode:
Disinterest in work or family life Disinterest in social life or alienation from previously close friends and family Sleep disruption or much longer periods of sleep Significant changes in appetite, such as eating too little or too much Paranoid thoughts, such as the thought people are trying to harm you Thoughts of grandeur or invincibility Feelings of persistent anxiety or panic attacks Hearing voices Seeing people who are not there Thoughts of dying or wish to die Exhibiting strong or violent anger Having flashbacks to a prior traumatic event Increasing dependence on alcohol or drugs Inability to pursue a normal life, normal activities or normal relationshipsAnswer Over!
