What is the difference of intentional and reckless infliction of emotional distress?
My answer would be if the party is very clear to you that you're actions are indeed causing emotional damage and you do not stop. Then it is clear and intentional. It is one thing to say you want to end a relationship, it is another to demoralize, degrade and commit psychological murder, which I define as lying and denying what one is doing which is contrary to reality. It is called driving someone crazy. And pretty soon you don't know what is real and what isn't. Eventually, it will break one's mind down. Perhaps that is psychopathic. Have to research that.

An example of the meaning of mental and emotional distress?
An "extreme emotional distress" defense relies on the theory that the defendant was so overwrought with emotion at the time he committed the crime in question that they were effectively unaware of what they were doing... And thus should not be held responsible, on the theory that they are unlikely to repeat the crime. An example might be a case where someone caught their spouse 'cheating' on them, or a case where one person suffered prolonged and substantial abuse at the hands of another. "Emotional distress" can also be cited as an injurious cause in a civil suit, to justify the award of damages. The example above where one person abuses or terrorizes another person would be an example.
