A Mental Breakdown is a common way of describing an episode where a person has difficulty functioning mentally and/or emotionally. This “mental breakdown” is often a combination of severe depression and anxiety. Some of the common symptoms are:
- Hopelessness
- Irritability
- Anxiousness
- Uncontrollable worry
- Helplessness
- Panic Attacks
- Depressed mood
- Rumination
- Obsessiveness
- Uncontrollable crying
- Difficulty sleeping
- Unable to concentrate or make decisions
- Weight loss or weight gain
- Thoughts of dying
- Fear of losing control
- Inability to think clearly
- Uncontrollable crying
- Fear of “going crazy”
- Inability to function
Alternatively, a person who is experiencing a “mental breakdown” could be experiencing a psychotic episode. During a psychotic episode, a person begins to lose touch with reality. They may begin to hallucinate, become paranoid, or have difficulty distinguishing between their own thoughts and the reality of life around them.
