	A mental hospital's breakdown
		Dixmont, the oldest mental institution in Western Pennsylvania, opened in 1862 and was originally known as the Department of the Insane in the Western Pennsylvania Hospital of Pittsburgh.
		In its day, Dixmont was one of the finest examples of mental institutions that were built in an era when social reformers believed that the restful quiet and country air of a rural institution were beneficial to the cure or control of mental illness.
		In the 1940s and 1950s, mental hospitals around the country began using electroshock therapy to dull the intellects of the patients and quiet the wards of mental hospitals.

	Common Symptoms of PTSD
		Nervous breakdown or mental breakdown is a consequence of mental illness
		The person who suffers a stress breakdown is often treated as if they have had a mental breakdown; they are sent to a psychiatrist, prescribed drugs used to treat mental illness, and may be encouraged - sometimes coerced or sectioned - into becoming a patient in a psychiatric hospital.
		However, a key difference between mental breakdown and stress breakdown is that a person undergoing a stress breakdown will be intermittently lucid, often alternating seamlessly between paranoia and seeking information about their paranoia and other symptoms.

		One of the major problems has been that in rare cases mentally ill people have committed acts of violence which, when headlined without an explanation that the violence may be a symptom of the fear and paranoia in their minds, give the impression that anyone with a mental health problem could be dangerous.
		Violence is not a common feature of mental breakdown and research shows that the majority of people with a serious mental illness are no more violent that the rest of the population.
		A survey recently conducted by the Mental Health Foundation entitled "Whose life is it anyway?" found that nearly thirty percent of employees experience a mental health problem every year, and that half of all lost days are due to work-induced stress.

	Mind Tools - Effective Stress Management - 'Breakdown'
		This may show itself physically as a heart attack, angina or a stroke, or may show as 'nervous' or 'mental' breakdown, where the sufferer becomes mentally ill. In the latter case symptoms may not be seen by the individual, but may be obvious to partners, friends and colleagues.
		Mental breakdown, however, may be slow in onset, and may be mild or severe.
		The boundary between prolonged unhappiness or exhaustion and breakdown is blurred - one definition of breakdown may be that the sufferer finally carries out some act that makes it impossible to continue functioning normally in society.

		It seems that as each new day passes, something new is discovered about the brain, whether it be a new mental or physiological brain condition, or merely a link and clue to one of the vast number of questions the world has considering the human brain and behavior.
		A good question to ask is whether or not the overall population seems to be suffering more mental and cerebral ills, or that it is merely a result of more cases being reported and more statistics calculated.
		A possible theory is to look at the correlation between the rate of growth and process in modern society and the stress level of the average individual.
