Instead of using comparatives and superlatives, we use different words or phrases to express different levels of trouble:
* More troubled: This is a general way to express a higher level of trouble.
* Deeply troubled: This emphasizes the intensity of the trouble.
* Extremely troubled: This conveys the highest level of trouble.
* More troubled than...: This compares the level of trouble to something else.
* The most troubled...: This identifies the person or thing with the highest level of trouble.
For example:
* "He was troubled by his recent loss."
* "She was deeply troubled by the news."
* "The country is more troubled now than it was a year ago."
* "He is the most troubled person I know."
