Augmentation syndrome

Augmentation sensitivity and psychosomatic rejection syndrome , also known as Paliakov's syndrome, augmentation syndrome, or augsickness, is a medical disorder that can manifest in clusters of related symptoms relating to neurological or immunological pathologies; this is as a result of augmentations. ASPRS was discovered by notable prosthesiologist Dr. Vladimir Paliakov in 2127 following the start of the consumer augmentation market across the Coalition of Congressional Republics, with Paliakov noting how the human body's sensitivity and rejection of augmentations almost always manifested in three "types": purely psychological, psychological with a neurological origin as a result of some physical phenomenon, and immunological (with some cases of augmentation syndrome having two or all three of such types present). These three types all carried mostly consistent symptoms throughout related cases, and was subsequently classified as an official medical disorder by the Coalition Department of Health and Welfare in 2129.
Augmentation syndrome has four official types: psychological (Type A), neurological (Type B), immunological (Type C), and multispecialized (Type D) that can carry the traits and symptoms of two or all three of the previous types. Type A's etiology is postulated to occur as a result of mental dyssynchrony between the augmentation and the patient's personalities and values or mind-state, whereas type B's etiology is through a dyssynchrony between the augmentation and that of the patient's nervous system. Type C etiology is proven to occur when the augmentation is rejected by the body, and it is presumed that type D arises as a result of a high degree of bodily rejection to the augmentation that manifests in several different medical areas.
Type A, type B, and type D are also collectively called cyberpsychosis due to the mental issues present in these types as a result of (often cybernetic) augmentations. Those who are afflicted with these types of augmentation syndrome are thus colloquially known as cyberpsycho(es). Officially, they are referred to as psychotic augmetics suffering from augmetic psychosis manifestations of augmentation syndrome.
