Hypersensitivity: Often we see that some people are too sensitive. Many times the behavior of such a person also troubles other people. Is being too sensitive a disease? Dr. Rajiv Mehta, senior psychiatrist of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, gave complete information on this.
What is Hypersensitivity
Every person has his own human quality. This quality is determined by the kind of environment in which he was brought up. What has been his family environment? What kind of people have been around him? What has been his social environment? What kind of people have he been interacting with? Many other such factors play an important role in determining a person’s human quality. One of these human qualities is called ‘hypersensitivity’ in the language of psychology. You must have heard many people saying that so and so person is very sensitive, so and so person is like this or like that.
IANS had a detailed conversation with Dr. Rajeev Mehta, senior psychiatrist of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, regarding hypersensitivity. Dr. Mehta said, a highly sensitive person is one who has the immense ability to understand any incident from different aspects or in other words, to understand it deeply, but if this ability increases, then undoubtedly it can affect his daily life in a negative way.
When he was asked whether hypersensitivity can be called a disease, he clearly said that it is a kind of nature, but here you have to keep one thing in mind that if this behavior or nature of yours starts affecting your social or professional life on a large scale or your hypersensitivity has become so much that it starts affecting your daily life, you are having trouble making relationships, you are having trouble in your professional work, then it is definitely a disease
When Dr. Rajeev Mehta was asked what is the reason that makes a person’s behavior overly sensitive, then answering this, Dr. Mehta said that there can be many reasons behind this, like if someone is under stress, is worried about something, is thinking about a subject repeatedly, in such a situation the behavior of any person becomes overly sensitive, but apart from this there can be many other factors which can make a person sensitive. Like if he has lived in a family environment where there is a lack of communication or if there is any communication, only taunting is being done on each other, each other is being humiliated, sometimes due to more responsibilities also the behavior of a person becomes sensitive.
Dr. Rajeev Mehta: told that generally being highly educated can also make a person’s behavior sensitive many times, because such a person has the ability to look at any subject from different aspects.But this does not mean that higher education is useless, but yes, it cannot be denied that a highly educated person can be sensitive.
He told that when a person is in a high position, where he has the psychological responsibility to give better results, then in such a situation that person can become sensitive. Apart from this, such children, who have received a lot of love from their parents in childhood. When such children grow up, it is seen that their behavior becomes sensitive.
Along with this, he told that a highly sensitive person has to face many types of problems in his life. Due to this behavior, they have to face problems in their family and professional life. Apart from this, such people also become over thinkers many times. Due to this also they have to face problems.
