Nervous breakdown?: Nervous breakdown is not a medical term. It can encompass many different psychological problems. If you know what the condition actually is, then specific medications could be recommended.

Huge category: "nervous breakdown" may encompass a huge variety of suffering, but doesn't tell what specifically you might be experiencing. To get the best help for your particular situation, please start with your physician. Psychiatrists and psychologists are also skilled in assessing which, if any, mental health conditions are present -- and the best ways of treating them. Good luck to you.

Many approaches: The expression, "nervous breakdown" has been in use for more than 100 years. But it is not a defined or specific mental disorder. In fact, in his best-selling book published in 1976, "your erroneous zones, " dr. Wayne dyer asserted that "...[t]here is no such thing as a nervous breakdown." if you have problems managing moods, thoughts, or behaviors, your doctor can help you with self-management.
