Homonym: Meltdowns (Crisis)
A meltdown is an intense emotional reaction that often occurs when someone feels overwhelmed, frustrated, or unable to cope with a situation. This response can involve crying, yelling, or even physical outbursts. Meltdowns are commonly associated with conditions like autism or ADHD, but anyone can experience them under extreme stress.
During a meltdown, a person may lose control over their emotions and behavior, making it difficult for them to communicate effectively. It is important for those around them to remain calm and provide support, helping to create a safe environment until the individual can regain their composure.
