Triggers For A Nervous Breakdown

Nervous breakdowns and mental breakdowns are terms that describe periods of intense mental distress. Individuals having a nervous breakdown are not able to function in their day-to-day lives. In the past, the term nervous breakdown was used to describe multiple mental illnesses including acute stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Although nervous breakdown is no longer considered a diagnostic or clinical term, many still use it to describe an inability to cope or intense stress symptoms. Mental breakdowns can also sometimes be a sign of a mental illness that hasn't yet been diagnosed.
