A mental breakdown is one of the scariest things any of us could imagine ever happening to us.
Healthlineexplainsa nervous breakdown used to be a catch-all term for depression, anxiety, and even acute stress disorder.
It generally refers to a period when stress becomes intolerable, and the sufferer is unable to function anymore.
Psychical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms persist, though the exact signs differ depending on the person.
It’s also likely you’ll withdraw from loved ones, similar to an extremely depressed person.
You should also cut down on alcohol and caffeine, as these can negatively affect your mental health.
Getting enough rest is paramount to managing stress, too.
