Not really - to have had a nervous breakdown you really do need to have reached a stage at which any mental problems you are experiencing leave you unable to cope anymore. For example, many people have mild depression which lasts only a few months at most (I myself have experienced this). This would not however be a nervous breakdown. IMO.

he having alot of family problems and they want him to go back to his home country where they are to get a job etc. he really not want to so he staying at home all the time, for nearly 2 month only go out very rarely, and for the past 2 weeks he not ansewr the phone or anything and just not talking to anyone. for the past year he having alot of problem concentrating in schoolworks and only attend classes for maybe 14 days total. i rilly worried especially cos he no longer will speak on the phone to me and im his best frind hes getting so isolated to deal with his problem but i think maybe he is depressed.

it's when you wake up in the morning with a guy that you don't remember, can't find your clothes, in a house that is not yours, and when you go out, can't find your car
Whats this???
cant sleep, and when Im lieing down and relaxing for no reason my heart starts to pound so so fast, like it wants to jump out of my body, I sweat and have take huge breaths to slow it down and usually a cold glass of water does the trick after about 10 minutes, and that ALWAYS happens when Im lieing down and relaxing, why?

This sounds like tachycardia.
See a doctor soon.

Hibee
yeah thats exactly how it is. Unfortunately my doctor is stupid, I'm losing loads of hair on my head and she gave me a coconut shampoo, which has not done anything except give me oily hair.Common causes are autonomic nervous system or endocrine system activity, hemodynamic responses, and various forms of cardiac arrhythmia.
I know I have problems with my hormones, cos part of my Pituary gland in the brain is missing, biology experts do you think this is the cause?
Is it serious, can I die from it?

Basically, it is treatable, but it does require medication [possibly for life] and in some cases, an implant into the chest to steady your heart when it goes too fast.
