Misophonia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Misophonia is an intense reaction of discomfort, anger, or anxiety to certain everyday sounds, such as chewing, breathing, or typing. It is not a whim: those who experience it have an emotional response that is hard to control.
When to seek support? It makes sense to ask for help when these reactions affect relationships, work, study, or daily well-being.
Common manifestations:
- Immediate irritation or distress with specific sounds
- Tension, a desire to leave the place, or avoidance of social situations
Which specialist supports it? The psychologist offers strategies to manage the emotional responses and reduce the discomfort associated with these stimuli. If everyday sounds provoke a reaction that interferes with your life, talking with a mental health professional can open up management options.
