	Diagnose-Me: Condition: Nervous Breakdown Tendency
		The term nervous breakdown has faded from medical terminology but the symptoms of the illness have not changed: a sense of utter fatigue, low energy, little motivation, anxiety, agitation, sleeping too little or too much, a loss of appetite, guilty ruminations and hopelessness.
		Most psychiatrists sniff at the term nervous breakdown, considering it to be inexact, yet among the general public the term is still widely used and understood to mean snapping under extreme pressure; getting to a point in life where you can’t carry on.
		Today, nervous breakdowns may be "acute psychotic breaks" or "schizophrenic episodes", as when people suddenly become convinced that aliens have planted listening devices in their teeth, or "manic breaks".

	Break Up Survival
		In nervous breakdown some people experience a physical ‘stopping’ of what we might call healthy normal functioning; they may curl up in a ball, become mute, be unable to stop crying, or make a suicide attempt.
		Nervous breakdown can be a vivid dramatic experience or it can be a long drawn out one, It is not a mental illness although it carries the same taboo, but it is nevertheless part of our development as sensitive human beings on the journey of life.
		If, as the term nervous breakdown implies, we have over stretched our nervous system to the point at which we feel it will snap, this is our indication that the use of our nervous system is limited and needs a wider range of choices.

	Nervous Breakdown - by Sarah Chana Radcliffe
		In breakdowns of the depressive type, there may be uncontrollable crying, loss of pleasure in all activities, dramatic weight loss or weight gain, sleep disruption or extreme sleepiness, confusion, disorientation, extreme feelings of worthlessness, guilt and despair.
		In breakdowns that are manifestations of some sort of anxiety disorder, there may be panic attacks and incapacitating fears that affect daytime performance (perhaps interfering with ability to work, study or run a home) and disrupting night time sleep patterns.
		The genetic sensitivity, combined with life stress, can result in a "breakdown." Breakdowns that are episodes of major depression also stem from a combination of inborn and environmental factors (for example, having a family history of depression and then experiencing serious loss, frustration or failure in one's own life).

	What is a nervous breakdown?
		Some commentators claim that a nervous breakdown can actually be a good thing in the long run, because (a) it forces the person to take a proper time-out to rest and recuperate and (b) the patient will have to deal with the issues that caused the breakdown in order to recover fully.
		What causes a nervous breakdown is the brain being unable to discover the correct chemical combinations to relieve the problem and bring the brain back to stability, so it pretty much releases all of them.
		One solution to a nervous breakdown is to put yourself in a situation where the chemical imbalance is appropriate, such as spending the day riding rollercoasters, or skydiving - this will "exercise" the sensation of relief.

	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.

		Well, during Elvis' career, rock and roll became a worldwide attitude as well as "a sonic environment for commerce." That is a sad plight that Walley surveys with pleasant cynicism, winding up considering the fascination with such issues as presidential underwear preferences and the seemingly unending retail warfare that commercial culture fosters.

		In an age when culture is very much a recycled and homogenized ghost of past trends and politics, this collection of essays is a rallying cry for anyone searching for a voice in a thunderstorm of corporatized consumerism and apathy.
