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.

Notes

Both Zenith experiences and nadir experiences can lead to connection pathology.[1]

Wrong Thought, Wrong Action, and Wrong Environment all increase the probability of connection pathology.

Right Thought, Right Action, and Right Environment increase the odds of healthy Connection Outcome.
