What this trial studies

This observational study aims to characterize the sensory profiles of patients in a closed psychiatric hospital unit who utilize a calming room. Participants will complete surveys before and after using the calming room to assess their sensory processing and identify potential links between sensory processing disorders and distress. The study seeks to determine if users exhibit extreme sensory profiles, either hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity, which may contribute to their mental health conditions.
