This image explains that overstimulation occurs when the brain's capacity for sensory input is exceeded, triggering the amygdala's fight or flight response. This releases stress hormones, causing emotional and physiological symptoms associated with overstimulation.
This image describes what overstimulation feels like, listing symptoms such as irritability, stress, overwhelm, restlessness, or feeling on edge. It also mentions physiological symptoms like muscle tension, a racing heart, sweating, or an upset stomach.
This image lists conditions linked to overstimulation, including ADHD, Autism, Sensory processing disorder, Schizophrenia, Anxiety disorders, and PTSD. The text is presented on a light background with subtle pink and gray shapes.
