Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

A stress breakdown: Is a catch all term and not a true diagnosis. The impact of stress can be seen in sleep problems, excessive drinking, drugs, short temper, crying, etc. Your doc has given you a medication to help but seeing a therapist for stress management is also in order. Peace and good health.
