Mental Suffering

Read a random definition: ferlingum

A quick definition of Mental Suffering:

Mental suffering is when your mind feels uncomfortable, not working well, or upset because of something that happened to you or because of someone else's actions. It can make you feel really bad emotions like sadness, fear, anger, or humiliation. You don't need to have physical injuries to get help for mental suffering, but it has to be severe enough to affect your life. The law can help you get compensation for mental suffering if it's reasonable to think that it would happen because of what someone did to you. Judges will look at how bad the actions were and how long they lasted to decide if you should get help.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mental suffering, also known as mental anguish, refers to discomfort, dysfunction, or distress of the mind. This can be caused by physical pain or injury, or emotional pain and suffering resulting from another person's conduct. Examples of emotional pain include anxiety, depression, grief, humiliation, or fury.

It is important to note that mental suffering can be caused by an external source and can provide a basis for recovering damages in tort. Physical injury is not always required to recover damages for mental suffering, as long as it is reasonable to presume that mental trauma would naturally flow from the incident. The severity of the distress inflicted is evaluated based on the intensity, duration, and character of the defendant's conduct.

For example, if a person is involved in a car accident and suffers from anxiety and depression as a result, they may be able to recover damages for mental suffering. Another example is if a person is subjected to harassment or discrimination in the workplace, resulting in emotional distress.

Overall, mental suffering refers to the discomfort and distress of the mind, which can be caused by physical or emotional factors and can result in damages in certain legal cases.

i know its hard to know because I haven't taken LSAT yet, but Im going to graduate with a 3.4. Idk if id write an addendum for my gpa because i just slacked off for a lot of college unfortunately. Plan is to start studying for lsat in October, and then take a gap year to get WE. T14 isn't even on my radar, but from people who know and understand the admission process better probably, am i cooked at even getting into a T50. I know lsat score is huge but reading people get rejected while having 3.8+ is anxiety inducing
23:25
@Sagamore: you can do applicant search to get closer results but there are plenty of ppl with a 3.3-3
23:25
3.4 that got into t50s-t20s (sorry i pressed send early)
23:26
i would just focus on maximizing ur lsat score
we always talk about fo pm but never about fo am

Don’t know if I’m about to make things worse but hang in there! If you’re stressed out get to your nearest trampoline and start jumping! It’s better than therapy! Hopefully you’re under some stars!
