Think about them on purpose and consider why you might be having that thought. What is stressing you so much that you consider violence against yourself or others? Another idea is to write them down so they are taken out of your mind and placed in a permanent location. Writing them down tends to help people forget them, and they become less likely to return. You can also try distracting your mind, but your best bet for full relief of violent thoughts is to handle the stress bringing them up. If you start refusing any social plans, always complain about one thing or another, or even start aggressively criticizing your friends and acquaintances, you may just be headed for a mental breakdown. Think before you speak, and try some stress-relieving techniques to get those negative thoughts and comments to go away. Consider a class in restorative yoga , or do a little bit of meditation. Stress eating is a real thing, and so is a lack of appetite because of stress. People who are depressed frequently have no appetite, and depression is another symptom of a mental breakdown. Take a class to stop stress-eating. People who are over-stressed also have a tendency to abuse alcohol. You used to shower every night and pick out the perfect outfit for the office. Your morning routine used to involve getting up thirty minutes before you needed to leave for work just so you could make sure every hair was in place. Your best bet for combating appearance issues is to just get back into your usual morning routine. Therapy can also help, so be sure to talk to a mental health professional. There are organized people, and then there are disorganized people. More often than not, even those people that are viewed as disorganized by the organized ones are actually organized in their own way. What is a Nervous Breakdown? Substance use disorder : This disorder refers to the use of drugs legal or illegal, including alcohol that persists despite significant problems or harm related to its use. Substance dependence and substance abuse fall under this umbrella category in the DSM. Substance use disorder may be due to a pattern of compulsive and repetitive use of a drug that results in tolerance to its effects and withdrawal symptoms when use is reduced or stopped. Dissociative disorder : People who suffer severe disturbances of their self-identity, memory and general awareness of themselves and their surroundings may be classified as having these types of disorders, including depersonalization disorder or dissociative identity disorder which was previously referred to as multiple personality disorder or "split personality". Cognitive disorder : These affect cognitive abilities, including learning and memory. This category includes delirium and mild and major neurocognitive disorder previously termed dementia. Developmental disorder : These disorders initially occur in childhood. Some examples include autism spectrum disorders, oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder , and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD , which may continue into adulthood. Conduct disorder, if continuing into adulthood, may be diagnosed as antisocial personality disorder dissocial personality disorder in the ICD. Popularist labels such as psychopath or sociopath do not appear in the DSM or ICD but are linked by some to these diagnoses. Somatoform disorders may be diagnosed when there are problems that appear to originate in the body that are thought to be manifestations of a mental disorder. This includes somatization disorder and conversion disorder. There are also disorders of how a person perceives their body, such as body dysmorphic disorder. There are attempts to introduce a category of relational disorder , where the diagnosis is of a relationship rather than on any one individual in that relationship. The relationship may be between children and their parents, between couples, or others. There already exists, under the category of psychosis, a diagnosis of shared psychotic disorder where two or more individuals share a particular delusion because of their close relationship with each other. Various new types of mental disorder diagnosis are occasionally proposed. Among those controversially considered by the official committees of the diagnostic manuals include self-defeating personality disorder , sadistic personality disorder , passive-aggressive personality disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The onset of psychiatric disorders usually occurs from childhood to early adulthood. Some other anxiety disorders, substance disorders and mood disorders emerge later in the mid-teens. The likely course and outcome of mental disorders vary and are dependent on numerous factors related to the disorder itself, the individual as a whole, and the social environment. Some disorders may last a brief period of time, while others may be long term in nature. All disorders can have a varied course. Long-term international studies of schizophrenia have found that over a half of individuals recover in terms of symptoms, and around a fifth to a third in terms of symptoms and functioning, with many requiring no medication. While some have serious difficulties and support needs for many years, "late" recovery is still plausible. The World Health Organization concluded that the long-term studies' findings converged with others in "relieving patients, carers and clinicians of the chronicity paradigm which dominated thinking throughout much of the 20th century. Around half of people initially diagnosed with bipolar disorder achieve symptomatic recovery no longer meeting criteria for the diagnosis within six weeks, and nearly all achieve it within two years, with nearly half regaining their prior occupational and residential status in that period. Less than half go on to experience a new episode of mania or major depression within the next two years. Some disorders may be very limited in their functional effects, while others may involve substantial disability and support needs. The degree of ability or disability may vary over time and across different life domains. Furthermore, continued disability has been linked to institutionalization , discrimination and social exclusion as well as to the inherent effects of disorders. Alternatively, functioning may be affected by the stress of having to hide a condition in work or school etc. It is also the case that, while often being characterized in purely negative terms, some mental traits or states labeled as disorders can also involve above-average
