Talk:Sensory overload
[edit]I have a very good friend who sometimes suffers from this. I would like to know more about it. What if anything can be done to help calm someone who suffers from this symptom?
Thank you for any help in this matter.
beckysue18 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beckysue18 (talk • contribs) 03:35, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Sensory overloads happen from too many sounds at once, lights, colors, loud music and other causes. If you need to stop this, you may want to ease up on the things that are confusing them! <google>
Could stand to be expanded a little bit; this can't be as in-depth as Wikipedia can get on this subject! Also, I had to do quite a bit of looking around to find this article - I was searching for "Hypersensitivity", but the two are apparently considered to be distinct from each other. Perhaps someone should link this to the Hypersensitivity article, if only for comparison/contrast? Albino Bebop (talk) 09:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Room For Improvement
[edit]This article could benefit from having more cited sources for users to learn more about sensory overload. It could also benefit from an example or two. AshleyHarper101 (talk) 06:41, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
- @AshleyHarper101 What about having a section on pilots, or at least fighter jet ones? 72.83.128.234 (talk) 00:05, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Please add migraine and related disorders to the section on associated problems and disorders. These symptoms are common as components of the auras, which commonly precede migraines and/or seizures, or as features of mild forms of such disorders.

"Tohuku" University page "doesn't exist"
[edit]The link in the article, "Tohuku University" doesn't exist because it has been misspelled. It's Tohoku. With an o. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Tohoku_University (75.65.220.204 (talk) 16:19, 11 May 2013 (UTC))
- Hi 75.65.220.204! Thank you for telling, and I changed this. Next time when you notice a mistake in Wikipedia, please be bold and correct it! Friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 12:14, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Pseudoscience?
[edit]This article provides no medical explanation for this "sensory overload" and instead uses very vague causes and symptoms. The fifth reference is of dubious quality (advertising itself as "holistic"). This entire article reads like pop-psy from the 80s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.55.122 (talk) 18:26, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi 71.126.55.122! Thank you for your criticism. Please, if you have good, secondary sources – and also check WP:MEDRS – then please be bold and edit the article! With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 08:00, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Article needs improvement/rearrangement
[edit]As it currently is, the article seems out of order, low on information, and could use some condensing of the list format that seems to make up the bulk of the article. --Pichu0102 (talk) 12:47, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Edits that I have made
[edit]Hello, I edited the article by adding an image to the introduction and elaborating on the "As component of other disorders and conditions" major section. Most of the edits I made were to the "As component of other disorders and conditions" section; I cited research related to sensory overload for the disorders listed under the section. I removed echolalia and sensory processing disorder from the list of "As component of other disorders and conditions" since they are not independent conditions and are almost always a symptom associated with other mental disorders. Echolalia and SPD fall under an umbrella of other conditions which makes it almost impossible to make meaningful edits or contributions to them in relation to this article since the major section itself is already examining sensory overload as a component of other disorders. Additionally, the DSM-5 does not recognize SPD as a distinct condition and classifies Echolalia as a component of Autism. Some of the research I used was not from reviews and from primary research since it was very hard to find relevant research related to sensory overload and other conditions. I appreciate any edits to these descriptions that cite review research papers. Somebody could add echolalia and sensory processing disorder again to the list if they manage to find research that links them to sensory overload. Jamy Jung (talk) 17:47, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
