Stress disorder
In psychology, stress disorder refers to the pathological reaction to prolonged or short-term extreme stress, such as trauma. A distinction is made between acute stress disorder, also known as a nervous breakdown, and post-traumatic stress disorder. In both cases, the symptoms are the same, although in acute stress disorder they do not last longer than four weeks.
