Have you ever felt unusually irritated by the sound of someone chewing? Do you get agitated by other people's conversations even in relatively quiet environments? If so, you might be suffering from 'misophonia.' A study revealed that misophonia can significantly impact a patient's life, yet a majority remain unaware of their condition. Misophonia is a rare neurological disorder characterized by an extreme reaction to specific sounds, such as chewing, coughing, or typing. Symptoms include anxiety, anger, and fear. Self-assessment can help determine if someone has misophonia by checking for strong emotional reactions, triggers by specific sounds, physiological and emotional responses, and how the condition affects daily life.
