Sensory Processing, RDoC, Neuro-Developmental Differences/Disorders & Psychiatric Disorders

Conjecture

• To me, the article to the right on the importance of Sensory Processing in Mental Health goes to CORROBORATE the CONNECTION between NEURO-DEVELOPMENTAL DIFFERENCES affecting SENSORY PROCESSING and MENTAL HEALTH.
  

 

• I think the RESEARCH is EXPLICITLY making the CONNECTION between NEURO-DEVELOPMENTAL DIFFERENCES / DISORDERS and PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS ---
  • It does NOT SEEM that has gone MAINSTREAM

 

• IT HAS A LOT OF IMPLICATIONS.

 

• One of those MANY IMPLICATIONS is that PHYSICAL, SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL ENVIRONMENTS are having to be CONSCIOUSLY TAILORED.
  • We're often talking "ORCHIDS" --- NOT "DANDELIONS"
    • See Why Orchid

 
Further, the people who are NOT FITTING INTO our CURRENT CATEGORIES and PATHS are pushing the SOCIETY to recognize:

• Many of the the CURRENT CATEGORIES are NOT lining up with REALITY ---
  • the DSM 5 is a TREASURE TROVE of INACCURATE CONCEPTUALIZATIONS by BOTH ACTS of COMMISSION and OMISSION.
  • BUT beyond that it is going to some of our FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS about HOW the WORLD WORKS and HUMANS WORK.

 

• The RELATIONSHIP between SENSORY PROCESSING and the MICROBIOME is looking COMPLICATED and is one of the things driving the need for PRECISION MEDICINE.

 Some of the most important research involving the MICROBIOME and MENTAL HEALTH has occurred right here in Colorado.

• We should be CAPITALIZING  on and further EXPANDING this research for the benefit of COLORADANS, people across the US and around the World.

The Importance of Sensory Processing in Mental Health:

A Proposed Addition to the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) and Suggestions for RDoC 2.0

(2019)

ABSTRACT

The time is ripe to integrate burgeoning evidence of the important role of sensory and motor functioning in mental health within the National Institute of Mental Health’s [NIMH] Research Domain Criteria [RDoC] framework (National Institute of Mental Health, n.d.a), a multi-dimensional method of characterizing mental functioning in health and disease across all neurobiological levels of analysis ranging from genetic to behavioral. . . .
