Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is a condition associated with what are deemed "extreme" reactions to perceived or actual rejection.

Primarily associated with ADHD, there is research suggesting links to autism.

RSD can contribute to feelings of worthlessness, social anxiety, and over-sensitivity. It can have a significant impact on the mental health of those experiencing it.
