What Is Misophonia?
2. Causes
There is a lot that yet needs to be learned about misophonia. We know so little about it that it is very difficult to say what causes it. We do know, however, that the condition is related to some other medical conditions. These include anxiety disorders, Tourette’s syndrome, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
While misophonia is classified as a condition in its own right, the symptoms will often overlap with other medical conditions. For example, a patient listening to a certain sound might trigger an attack of Tourette’s symptoms. Some people are more likely to have the condition than others. These include women, and people with higher than average IQs. The symptoms usually start showing between the ages of 9 and 12.
