Who is more prone to having a
nervous breakdown, well in a manner of speaking
every one I would say. Circumstance of how a
person handles different situations can denote
the more
susceptible.
We
all may have on many an occasion hear
some one say “I think I am having a
nervous breakdown”. How can they tell,
well symptoms of any condition whether it
be a mental illness or not will let you
know. Some people found it hard to accept
that a nervous breakdown could be
connected to having a psychological or
psychiatric problem and therefore chose
to believe that they suffered with their
nerves. Nervous breakdown is not a
clinical term. A nervous breakdown is
directed more towards disorders like that
of panic disorder, panic attack, bipolar
disorder, anxiety, traumatic stress,
post-traumatic stress, psychotic
disorder, depression, schizophrenia, mood
disorders.
In a nutshell,
independently of the specific mental illness, a
"nervous breakdown" is a system overload. If a
person has been diagnosed with one of the above
mentioned illnesses an overload or shock can
worsen the condition or make it more clear i.e.
Schizophrenia or a mood disorder. If your body
is of well being healthy and fit the system
overload or shock can trigger and become one of
the listed things (panic disorder or
post-traumatic stress). No matter how much you
keep yourself in shape if the mind is not
functioning then it can affect your health
severely.
Nervous
breakdown’ is a lay term, not an official
diagnosis so there’s no specific
definition, and its meaning may vary.
Society seems to use it as a catch-all
term to describe an acute emotional or
psychological collapse.
Signs of a nervous
breakdown can be fatigue low energy, lack of
motivation, anxiety, agitation, and insomnia,
loss of appetite, guilty ruminations and
feelings of despondency. Some conditions called
nervous breakdowns are really episodes of major
depression or a psychotic disorder of some
type. Psychotic disorders are generally more
closely related to genetic and biological
factors, but depression influenced more by
social and environmental issues. If you or
someone close show signs of suffering from
depression anxiety or believe they are on the
brink of having a nervous breakdown then you
must seek medical help right
away.
Depression can dominate your life which is
unfortunate because you have a life to live. If
you want to get back to normal doing the things
you enjoy then seek medical help. A person
suffering from depression is not the
only person who suffers - them close to
them
do too.
