Co-occuring Conditions

SPD commonly co-occurs with several other conditions, that often co-occur with each other, in a swirling mass of recursively co-occuring conditions.

Someone with large amounts of cash should fund research to look into this.

Anxiety and Depression

At Sensorious, we are staunchly committed to the position that anxiety and depression are legitimate and important symptoms of underlying conditions, just like “fever” and “pain.”

The only appropriate course of action to address anxiety or depression is to: (1) discover the underlying cause(s), (2) address them, and (3) provide an safe amount of symptom relief in the brief period in the meantime.

Anxiety = Symptom
Depression = Symptom

Anxiety and depression are not independent disorders that spontaneously pop into existence without an underlying cause; and, to address them as though they are is both dumb and callous.
