Causes:
- Unrealistic expectations of pixel perfection

- Exposure to too many poorly designed websites
Diagnosis:
- Self-diagnosis: Simply ask yourself, "Am I experiencing pixelated distress?"
- Medical diagnosis: Consult a specialist, preferably one with a strong background in pixel art
Remedies:
- Meditation with pixelated imagery
- Pixelling (a new form of therapy)
- Pixelated support groups (where you can vent about your pixelation woes)
