<s>[INST] my mom had a nervous breakdown i dont know why. im only 13, and really scared for her. i was at my grandparents house when my dad pulled me outside and told me she had a nervous breakdown and it sort of seemed like there may of been a reason but when i asked they said i dont know or tried to avoid it. im confused and scared [/INST] ! I have read your question carefully and can understand your concern. The problem in the query is that the term which you used" nervous breakdown". This phrase can mean a lot of things, like for example-crying bitterly, or shouting, or creaming or hurting other person etc. To exactly tell the treatment or diagnose the condition, one needs to know what exact happened, how was your mother behaving? Also, it will be useful to know if she already has some diagnosed psychiatric illness or on some medicines. Hope you understand the point. Feel free to ask more questions. Please donor worry, as all kinds of emergencies in psychiatry can be managed effectively, without hurting the patient or the family. </s>
