Have you ever found yourself in a period of intense mental distress? That’s what a mental breakdown, also known as a nervous breakdown can feel like. Some experience emotional breakdown progressively, while others feel it very suddenly. You may even find yourself unable to perform daily tasks due to the feeling of being overwhelmed. Unlike an anxiety disorder, a mental breakdown can occur at any point in one's life. We also did a video of emotional numbness in a previous video here: https://youtu.be/k3cflxGTsn4
