Mental Breakdown

Mental breakdown is referred to or often used when a person has a mental health crisis that overcomes their emotions. This can stem from other conditions like depression and anxiety but tends to be a severe case. (Source: “What Causes A Mental Breakdown?

A mental breakdown is also commonly known as nervous breakdown but are not generally considered to have a medical diagnosis.

Here are at least 8 signs of a mental breakdown:

• Not enough or too much sleep

• Depression or anxiety

• Brain fog

• Withdrawal from social events or friends

• Physical pain

• Loss of appetite/Too much appetite

I myself can identify with a few symptoms I experience such as insomnia, depression/anxiety , withdrawal from social events and loss of appetite and I’ve been experiencing this a lot lately.
