Misophonia is a newly recognized disorder; the causes are unknown. With misophonia, your brain and nervous systems respond automatically and uncontrollably to “triggers” in certain situations, for instance, at meals with your family. It can affect people of any age but often begins during the preteen years and becomes problematic when you are a teenager or young adult. Misophonia can occur alone or with other medical or mental health problems. Some people cope well with their symptoms, which can range from mild to severe, while others are unable to spend time with their loved ones, work, or go to school.
