Dealing with misophonia

[scienceforever]

9. Some therapies

Misophonia is a developmental, neurological disorder that most likely has it dysfunction in the sub-cortical regions of the limbic system in the brain. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) helps people reduce the severity of triggers, and helps to stop the expansion of triggers (through time, many sufferers say their triggers expand to many different sounds, visuals, and smells). Other people have had some success with hypnosis, neural feedback, and medications. Medications help reduce associated anxiety and depression but do not seem to have an impact on the misophonia, although some people report having reduced or no symptoms when taking lyrica, which is an anti-seizure med also used for fibromyalgia.
