Sensory overload occurs when one or more of the body's senses experiences over-stimulation from the environment. There are many environmental elements that affect an individual. Examples of these elements are urbanization, crowding, noise, mass media, technology, and the explosive growth of information.[1][2][3]

Symptoms Edit
There are a wide variety of symptoms that have been found to be associated with sensory overload. These symptoms can occur in both children and adults. Some of these symptoms are:

Irritability
"Shutting down", or refusing to participate in activities and interact with others
Avoiding touching or being touched
Complaining about noises that do not affect others
Getting overexcited
Covering eyes around bright lights
Making poor eye contact
Covering ears to close out sounds or voices
Constantly changing activities without completing any tasks
Irritation caused by shoes, socks, tags, or different textures
Over-sensitivity to touch, movement, sights, or sounds
Having trouble with social interactions
Extremely high or extremely low activity levels[1]
Muscle tension
Hyperhidrosis (extreme perspiration)
Fidgeting and restlessness
Angry outbursts
Self-harm
Sleeplessness and fatigue

Causes
As component of other disorders and conditions
Treatments Edit
There are many different ways to treat sensory overload. One is to reduce this tension is to participate in occupational therapy; however, there are many ways for people with symptoms to reduce it themselves. Being able to identify one's own triggers of sensory overload can help reduce, eliminate, or avoid them.[28] Most often the quickest way to ease sensory overload symptoms is to remove oneself from the situation. Deep pressure against the skin combined with proprioceptive input that stimulates the receptors in the joints and ligaments often calms the nervous system. Reducing sensory input such as eliminating distressing sounds and lowering the lights can help. Calming, focusing on music works for some. If a quick break does not relieve the problem, an extended rest is advised. People with sensory processing issues may benefit from a sensory diet of activities and accommodations designed to prevent sensory overload and retrain the brain to process sensory input more typically. It is important in situations of sensory overload to calm oneself and return to a normal level.[5]

Prevention Edit
There are three different methods to address sensory overload: avoidance, setting limits, and meditation. The process of avoidance involves creating a more quiet and orderly environment. This includes keeping the noise to a minimum and reducing the sense of clutter. To prevent sensory overload, it is important to rest before big events and focus one's attention and energy on one thing at a time. Setting limits involves restricting the amount of time spent on various activities and selecting settings to carefully avoid crowds and noise. One may also limit interactions with specific people to help prevent sensory overload
