This other lady refered another lady as having a mental breakdown and when confronted by the other lady she explained it away as meaning her stress level is higher. Is it true or doesn't mental break down mean that person is suffering from Dementia?

its different of mental breakdown to high stress level. mental breakdown means the person is in risk of losing her mind, if a person suffered the mental breakdown ..it means a person uncontrolled/cant control the emotional feeling and a person needs to release it by shouting, crying, if this persist, a person must consult a pshychiatrist and a proper medication will be given. high stress level..i may say stress comes from different level of physical fatigue, this attribute to stress, and a person needs also a medication from the doctor. both mental breakdown and high level stress needs a medical attentions and better to consult a doctor for these matter.
