I think the term you are looking for is "Mental Anguish and Distress". In the litigious society we live in, it is possible to sue for nearly anything. (Personal opinion: if there has truly been significant damage done to your health, mental state, or general well-being, a suit may be in order. But don't be frivolous.)
