emotional disturbances

Psychological storms within

Emotional disturbances are disruptions to normal psychological functioning—conditions that interfere with a person's ability to regulate feelings, maintain relationships, or cope with daily life.

The term appears often in educational and clinical contexts to describe children whose behavioral or emotional difficulties impair learning: Students with emotional disturbances may qualify for special education services.

The plural suggests ongoing patterns rather than momentary upsets.
