A nervous breakdown is a term used to describe a period of intense stress, fatigue, mental and emotional pressure that can hinder an individual’s ability to perform daily activities. The primary cause of a nervous breakdown is prolonged stress, but factors such as unexpected tragedies, major life changes, depression, and poor sleep can also contribute to this condition.
Early warning signs of a nervous breakdown include changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, and digestive disorders. Difficulty concentrating can be a result of prolonged stress affecting brain structure and leading to memory loss. Insomnia can cause trouble falling asleep or waking up, impacting physical and mental health. Fatigue is often associated with stress and can be worsened by lack of sleep. Changes in taste or an increase or decrease in appetite are also common indicators of a nervous breakdown.
Stress and anxiety can lead to digestive issues like stomach cramps, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Individuals with irritable bowel syndrome may experience flare-ups and gastrointestinal discomfort during a nervous breakdown. In severe cases of extreme stress, hallucinations like hearing or seeing things that are not real may occur.
Treatment for a nervous breakdown typically involves medication but also includes lifestyle changes such as reducing workload, exercising regularly, eating healthily, resting adequately and meditating regularly to manage the condition effectively. People experiencing excessive stress should seek professional help from their doctor to determine the best treatment plan for their symptoms.
