Option 1

 * Article title
 * Sensory Overload


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a C-class article of high importance that is a part of WikiProject Psychology. The content in this article is relevant to the topic of sensory overload and is written in a neutral tone. Although most of the claims are backed up by sources, the major section on "Symptoms" is largely unsupported by sources. Some of the cited sources are credible, and all of the references have working links; reference number 1, 4, 5, 9 are of dubious quality and are not academic peer-reviewed papers. One user in the talk page of this article mentions that the article seems like "pseudoscience" since there are no valid medical or physiological explanations in the article; information on the medical pathways behind sensory overload could elevate the quality of this article. Additionally, more sources should be found since a lot of the cited ones do not hold water.
