Summary

This descriptive study aims primarily to characterize the sensory profile of patients in a closed psychiatric hospital unit who use a calming room. The main questions it aims to answer are : * Could sensory information processing disorders be the cause of distress and tension in these patients? * Could users of the calming room present extreme sensory processing profiles, characterized by either hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity ? Participants will answer a survey to determine their the sensory profile. Participants can already use the calming room as part of their regular medical care and they will answer surveys before and after each use.
