Hate That Certain Sound?? You May Have Misophonia

Are there certain sounds that drive you crazy? Are you disgusted by the sound of someone chewing or slurping? Angered by the sound of someone tapping their pen on a desk, or the sound of someone’s heavy breathing? If you said yes, you may have a condition known asĀ misophonia, which is defined as a condition where certain sounds trigger intense emotional and physical reactions, such as irritation, anxiety, or anger.
