I think the term you are looking for is "Mental Anguish and Distress". In the litigious society we live in, it is possible to sue for nearly anything. (Personal opinion: if there has truly been significant damage done to your health, mental state, or general well-being, a suit may be in order. But don't be frivolous.)
You actually approach torts of negligence and intentional torts in much the same way. you still have to prove the four main elements of any tort. Beyond that-for an intentional tort-you must prove that it was intentional rather than negligent but that would be the only difference.
emotional appeal,,,,,intellectual appael,,,,humanistic value
physical, psychological, social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and environmental

emotional attitude and act..
The ability to predict future outcomes.
A Damsel in Distress
Tort law allows an individual who has been hurt in some way by someone else's negligence, carelessness, or malice. Intentional torts apply to the malice part of that equation.

Tort law addresses civil wrong doings in which someone has been hurt in some way by someone else's negligence, carelessness, or malice. The malice part of that equation would be the intentional tort. Most personal injury cases involve negligence but intentional torts are just that-intentional acts done to bring about or cause harm in some way. But in either type of tort the four main elements of tort law must still be proven to have a solid case.
