A “nervous breakdown” is not a medical diagnosis, says the team, but an informal term to describes a mental health crisis that occurs in response to prolonged and intense physical and emotional stress. While mental health crises manifest distinctly in different people, they are often characterized by the inability to cope with stressors, resulting in severe anxiety, depression, and feelings of loss of control.
Mission Connection’s guide says that individuals who have unresolved trauma, a history of anxiety disorders, or a medical condition that affects their ability to function are at higher risk of experiencing a mental health crisis; women are the most prone to breakdowns, as they are disproportionately impacted by mental health issues due to hormonal cycles, societal expectations, and heightened emotional and financial strain.
The resource adds that those at risk of nervous breakdowns may experience appetite changes, persistent fatigue, and other physical symptoms with no clear cause, including unexplained stomach pains or headaches. Additionally, they may exhibit behavioral symptoms that include sudden withdrawal from social situations, extreme mood swings, and loss of interest in daily activities. Finally, an individual on the verge of a mental health crisis may have uncontrollable panic episodes, racing thoughts, and feelings of detachment from reality, all of which can impact daily function.
However, Mission Connection notes that it’s possible to prevent breakdowns by proactively managing chronic stress; this can be achieved by regularly practicing calming exercises, including deep breathing and meditation. Some individuals may also be able to cope with stressors through expressive writing or verbal-emotional processing.
If self-care methods fail and an individual is no longer capable of performing everyday activities following a nervous breakdown, Mission Connection and other experts say that they should seek professional help, especially if they have thoughts of harming themselves. A licensed mental health provider will be able to offer tailored treatments that include evidence-based therapies and other methods that will help the patient develop healthier coping strategies.
