Learned helplessness: In psychology, the term learned helplessness is defined as a mental condition due to which an organism is enforced to tolerate an aversive or unpleasant stimuli. An organism dealing with learned helplessness often tends to be in a given situation even if it's escapable because the organism believes that it can not get out or so.
