Peeta has a mental breakdown because he was tortured by the Capitol. His memories were hijacked into, and he goes crazy, not knowing which of his memories are real.

The difference between a mental breakdown and an emotional one is that a mental breakdown can range from an emotional response to a full on psychotic episode. An emotional breakdown usually only involves emotions. Another type of breakdown would be a physical one.

Yea,it's possible to have a mental breakdown at mostly any age.I go through a lot of mental breakdowns and I'm only 11.Hope this helped you:)

The literary term that describes when a character is experiencing a mental breakdown or moment of intense emotional distress is called a "nervous breakdown" or "mental collapse."
