Pyschological term for "
the straw that broke the camel's back".
When a
human is faced with too many
stressors, or is in an
ongoing,
negative,
unhealthy pyschological situaion, one
event may be enough to push them
over the edge, and take
drastic measures. The actual event may be
misconstrued as the "cause" of the drastic behaviour, when in fact it was just the last thing they could take before
breaking.
