Una crisis psicológica es lo que sobreviene a una persona cuando un evento traumático sobrepasa su capacidad para afrontarlo. Un evento que precipita una crisis psicológica en una persona, no necesariamente afectará a otras, por eso no es posible predecir con confiabilidad las crisis psicológicas, si solamente se toma como referencia los sucesos que les preceden. 2, record 1, Spanish, - crisis%20de%20salud%20mental
