A mental breakdown, also referred to as a nervous breakdown, is a severe emotional and psychological crisis marked by a loss of control over thoughts and emotions. It is often triggered by prolonged or overwhelming stress. Symptoms may include emotional distress, anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, sleep disruptions, and behavioral changes.

Important Note: These symptoms may also be linked to other mental health conditions. If you or someone you know is experiencing these signs, it is vital to consult a mental health professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

"Mental illness, also called mental health disorders, refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.

Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. But a mental health concern becomes a mental illness when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function.

A mental illness can make you miserable and can cause problems in your daily life, such as at school or work or in relationships. In most cases, symptoms can be managed with a combination of medications and talk therapy (psychotherapy).

If you have any signs or symptoms of a mental illness, see your primary care provider or a mental health professional. Most mental illnesses don't improve on their own, and if untreated, a mental illness may get worse over time and cause serious problems."

Are colonoscopies painful?

In spite of the fact that colonoscopies are one of the most dreaded procedures, they prevent colon cancer very effectively. You might be able to save your life by enduring a day or two of discomfort.

For most people, colonoscopies don't hurt at all, so you don't need to worry about the procedure itself being painful. During most procedures, you will be completely sedated. Your procedure will be completed when you wake up. There are many people who say that they have no recollection of having a colonoscopy.
