- he goes on exhausting diets or practices asceticism;
- any remark on the part of a person is perceived extremely negatively;
- he seeks to fence himself off from the outside world, turns off the phone, does not open the door;
- a person comes complete apathy, unwillingness to do anything;
- he is very nervous, his palms are sweating, his knees are trembling;
- a person has fears for his life, for his children, for his future;

Symptoms that indicate chronic fatigue, stress, or a nervous breakdown indicate that immediate specialist attention is already needed.
Nervous breakdown. Symptoms and diagnosis in children.
Nervous disorders in childhood occur quite often. In a child, unlike an adult, the mechanism of protection against stress has not yet been worked out, which is why the child's body often becomes defenseless against the manifestation of nervous disorders. Their cause can be severe stress, chronic lack of sleep, excessive physical exertion, unfavorable heredity.
The most common manifestation of a nervous disorder in a child can be a nervous tic, in other words, unconscious movements, manifested in causeless twitches, sobbing, smacking. Most often, nervous tics appear at rest, as soon as the child begins to do something, the nervous tic disappears immediately. The main cause of nervous tick is nervous stress. Neurosis in children is also a common breakdown. Symptoms of neurosis can be manifested in fears, phobias, tantrums, obsessive movements, sadness, tearfulness, quiet incoherent speech and attacks of panic fear, accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations. Very often, parents ignore these symptoms and thereby exacerbate the situation. Meanwhile, the initial manifestations of neurosis are treated quite easily.
Sleep disorders or insomnia causes a lot of trouble to the child, and yet they are formidable symptoms of a nervous breakdown. If a child falls asleep badly, often wakes up, tosses and turns in his sleep, or cannot sleep for a long time - these are the first signs that his nervous system is suffering. Real dreams, the phenomena of somnambulism, and conversations in a dream are reasons to immediately show the child to a good psychotherapist. Enuresis is a fairly common nervous disorder in childhood. Symptoms of this disease are manifested not only in bedwetting. In the afternoon, the child may have an unstable mood, which is expressed in tearfulness, fears and moods. Stuttering often develops in children at the age of about three years old, at that very moment speech begins to form in the baby. It can be the result of a child’s intense information load, as well as separation from parents.
