Emergence definition

A persistent, distressing mental state characterized by maladaptive patterns of thought, emotion, or behavior that disrupt daily functioning and cause significant emotional pain, which arises from the process unfolding as a sequence of changes, driven by energy and occurring over time, resulting in a predictable and repeatable pattern of transformation, and the interaction of emotion, thought, and action.
