What Is Misophonia?

Connections To Other Mental Health Conditions

Just as with obsessive-compulsive disorder, misophonia has connections to other mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. It can cause these conditions because of the aversions it can create to living a normal life. When an individual's significant other's chewing or their child's yawn can trigger a rage or panic, there is a great deal of stress in life. Sometimes victims avoid other individuals altogether. Studies have shown trigger sounds, when made by the individual suffering from misophonia, are less triggering or cause no adverse reaction at all. Thus solitude is the answer for some patients with misophonia, which can lead to loneliness and despair of ever living a normal life. Suicidal ideation may also be the result of misophonia.
