For instance, what is if someone is fine but then lose it like start to uncontrollably cry and feel like they can't physically go on. If they just didn't have any energy to function throughout the day? Is there a medical term for these symptoms? And what are some ways of relief from this or do they need to just rest?

'Nervous breakdown' or 'mental breakdown is not a medical or psychiatric term. But, most people use the term breakdown to say they are at their 'breaking' point emotionally and don't feel at that moment they can handle anything else.

Take a break, slow down, be kind to yourself when you're at this point. Its your body and mind saying 'enough already!'. If giving it time and distance isn't enough, it's a very good idea to seek additional support- either through friends/family or professionally.

It is not a brain disease or mental illness, it is when we get to the point that our survival skills are overburdened and we can not take anymore and we need a break from it all, some of us find a way to take it and some people turn it into a lifetime disease, when one is also in poverty while going through this it makes it twice as easy not to make the right decissions about things when the people that are suppose to be there to encourage and support them tell them that there is something seriously wrong with them that will last for the rest of their lives. That is not really the way it is at all.

Edit: This does not make a person dangerous either to themselves or to the people that did them wrong in life, not all people feed their self with anger, some try to make peace while doing the least damage and being the most honest in a truthful way while trying to change the lies and the wrongs that they see in the world, because it is who they are. They want things to be better they just may not have many resources left internally to see to it or they may not have the proper and real outer assistance that they need at the time, this does not make them dangerous. Nor does it mean they need to take a pill.

Just sleep it off, whatever is making you hestericle will calm down in time, be it days, weeks, or months. Mental breakdowns occur when someone goies into a "shock" mode due to death of a close relative or spouse of something like being abused. The term is over used. Emotional times come and go. I know youll be fine, there is so much sunshine beyond these few clouds. Good luck and keep you head up!

I had a mental breakdown in 1989. I was married to a man who was cheating with a lady at his job. He pretty much forced me into a pregnancy we could not afford. I did not want another baby and it was nothing less than a rape. He beat me up, drank and ran around all the time. I also had a 3 yr old.
He stopped paying the bills, and he was never around. I found out he was cheating. Me and my 2 babies had no money, nothing to survive on and I just fell apart. We had no food in the house. I scraped together enough money out of the couch cushions to get a can of spaghettio's for my son. I was so overwhelmed with depression, I started thinking about ways to end my life. I told my dad I needed help and just bawled. I called a crisis line after I became so distraught I could not take care of my children.
They sent someone to care for me and she called my familiy to arrange for care for my baby and 3 yr old and took me to a hospital for severe depression. I am very tall and weighed 118 lbs. I was so thin.
Total mental breakdown. I still get upset when I talk about it and my kids are grown.

A mental breakdown happens when one allows themselves to get completely defeated by the vagaries of lifes inequalities and misery.
Hey it can happen to anyone.
The result can be unpredictable and dangerous, either to society and the people this person thinks is responsible for his misery,or to the person himself if the anger and frustration is internatized.
We all should learn to tell the signs of impending mental breakdown.

It's when your car's brakes decide they no longer want to work properly.
