Overwhelming feelings episode
An emotional crisis is a state of acute psychological distress where normal coping mechanisms fail.
It may be triggered by trauma, loss, overwhelming stress, or accumulating pressures: She was in emotional crisis after the divorce.
The term implies urgency—someone in emotional crisis needs immediate support or intervention, not just comfort.
