This isn't my personal definition of a mental breakdown but it made a lot of sense when it was told to me recently.
"It's the realisation that the life you thought you were going to have isn't the life that you're living."
I heard this from someone who had suffered from depression at some point in his life. It's quite surprising, once you open up and admit that you have a problem, how many other people have had similar problems in their lives.
If you're keeping your depression, or any mental illness, to yourself, may I suggest that you share your problem with someone. It won't halve it but it does lighten the load ever so slightly.
