text: court and mental anxiety? i would like to know can you bring someone to court if they make your mental anxiety worse?  i know it's a long short but i'm not sure of anything any more. this is a left at the gate horse.   i am a person to whom the reading of a law book is as simple as reading a comic book. first you would need a lawyer to win. that constitutional right about bringing your own case is wiped out by judges who do not want to be bothered by non-lawyers.  second you would need evidence that the persons actions caused you "increased anxiety"  as the tesimony of a theripist.  then it would depend on your stat laws. this is a hard case to prove, you might even have to prove the person should have known their actions would harm you.  get ahold of either legal aid, or the attorney generals office to see if they have information on how you can make the elements of a winning case.
