What Is Misophonia?
7. Impact on Life
In the more severe cases, misophonia can have a considerable negative impact on the patient’s quality of life. The risk of being exposed to certain sounds and other triggers can mean that they struggle to have a social life. It can also mean that the patient struggles to hold down a job.
In some cases, just being aware of a potential trigger can be enough to cause a response. It can leave the patient in a near constant state of anxiousness, and this can lead to further complications with the patient’s mental well-being. The good news is that treatment is available, and it can also be quite effective.
