In reply to What's a 'nervous breakdown' officially?, posted by regisx on July 22, 2016, at 21:21:45
I read an article once...on the rise and fall of the nervous breakdown in pop culture. Interesting stuff.
In the US, the term isn't as popular as it used to be. I did read an article from the UK about breakdowns and the different methods of dealing with them. It seems that treatment definitely involves meds, and often involves some flavor talk therapy.
These days...maybe they'd put one down for brief reactive psychosis or something? Schizophreniform? I dunno. In terms of Rx treatments...my best guess would anxiolytics, sedatives, seroquel, etc. ((But I'm clearly not any kinda expert))
