"distraught of" is not a correct phrase in written English.
The word "distraught" means deeply upset or agitated, and is usually used as an adjective to describe a person's state of mind. It is not typically followed by "of." Here are a couple of examples using "distraught": - "The mother was distraught after her child went missing in the busy shopping mall." - "He was distraught over the loss of his job and didn't know how he would support his family." If you want to convey that something or someone is causing the disturbance or distress, you could use phrases like "distraught over" or "distraught because of" instead. For example: - "The family was distraught over the sudden death of their beloved pet." - "She was distraught because of the constant bullying she experienced at school."
