mental breakdown

[time]

 Can Tony or someone answer this? Is Claire weekes in her books talking about a mental breakdown which she called then a nervous illness, i call it a crack-up. Is that what's she discussing?

Time - I think she is exploring the whole issue of human stress at different levels and also the different ways people react to it. The different names are, I think due to peoples associations with the subject. Your term of ‘crack up’ suggest that it is felt as a breaking up of your sense of self.
