A quick definition of emotional distress:

Emotional distress is when someone feels really bad inside because of something that happened to them or something they remember. It can make them feel anxious, sad, or even sick. Sometimes, people can take legal action if someone else caused them emotional distress on purpose or by accident. This is called intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress. Depending on the situation and where they live, they might be able to get money to help them feel better.

A more thorough explanation:

Emotional distress is a type of mental suffering that happens when someone experiences a strong emotional response to a particular event or situation. This can cause symptoms like anxiety, depression, physical illness, or difficulty performing tasks.

In legal terms, there are two types of emotional distress: intentional and negligent. Intentional emotional distress happens when someone purposely causes another person to suffer emotionally, such as by threatening them. Negligent emotional distress happens when someone acts carelessly and causes emotional harm to someone else.

For example, if a person is in a car accident and suffers emotional distress as a result, they may be able to sue the other driver for negligent infliction of emotional distress. If someone is being bullied at work and their boss threatens to fire them if they don't comply with unreasonable demands, they may be able to sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Overall, emotional distress is a serious issue that can have a significant impact on a person's life. It's important to seek help if you're experiencing emotional distress, and to know your legal rights if someone else has caused you harm.

profiting from saying one thing and doing the opposite, the politician, is the modern day trickster. By using the power of choice, perception, cunning, defrauding, to ones own befit whilst acting in a self serving fashion is how one embraces the trickster imp archetype

At the end of the day though, the mob bosses are not purposefully destructive and do not purposefully betray their families.
