Mental/nervous breakdown?!
Question:
Mental/nervous breakdown?
Just wanting to know the signs of a mental or nervous breakdown. Of those of you out there that have had one, what are the signs? When do you know someone is having one?
Answers:
Different people act differently. For me I withdrew from family and friends. Became very introverted, did not want to get out of bed, did not want to socialize or associate with anyone. That is classic but there are many different forms depression can take. Some people will binge on food or liquor, others will not bath or look after themselves hygenically. I suppose to recognize it in someone else, it would be any type of noticable change in the persons regular living habits. Unfortunately it doesn't often help to ask the person if they are depressed because sometimes they don't recognize they are in the middle of a break down.
