mental suffering
Torment of mind
Mental suffering is psychological or emotional pain—anguish, distress, or torment experienced in the mind rather than the body.
The term appears often in legal and medical contexts, where it may be distinguished from physical injury: The plaintiff sought damages for mental suffering caused by harassment.
It encompasses grief, anxiety, depression, and other forms of inner turmoil that affect well-being without leaving visible wounds.
