It's there problem, until the sigma prevents you from doing something, owning something, getting that job, whatever - once the sigma causes anything to go any different than it would if the problem were not present makes it your problem.
That is why so far the only DX I have is GAD - and don't really like that on the record. And while I may be helpful, kind of think I really don't want to find out the rest - sigma and privacy reasons.
