I'm just going to prompt all the mental illness/mental health prompts, I don't even care anymore.
So, what's known as a nervous breakdown is technically acute (and time-limited, so it goes away after a while) anxiety and/or depression, usually both plus sometimes dissociation, which basically means it's when a person just suddenly breaks down, usually from stress, and is no longer functional for a fair amount of time.
Matt's in law school, he has a great best friend and roommate, he's an excellent student, he really has his shit together, the fact that he's completely overworked and has pre-existing issues with his mental health is just something that he ignores, and one day all of a sudden he can't get out of bed and he's having panic attacks left and right and sometimes doesn't feel like a person. Foggy is confused. Matt is confused, and also completely miserable. They try to work through it themselves because apparently Matt Murdock has, um, strong negative feelings about therapy, and eventually Matt comes out on the other side, but it's a rough trip there.
