Connection Pathology
There are two uses of the term Connection Pathology. On the one hand, a connection pathology is the study of emotional, psychological, sociological, and physical causes of mental and emotional illness triggered and exacerbated by an experience of Connection. On the other hand, a connection pathology is Connection Outcome. It is a psychological/emotional breakdown of the bodily ego caused by a Zenith Experience or a Nadir Experience of an intensity, duration, quality, or content that an individual is not prepared, or not capable (because of damage) of handling.
