What helps with mental agitation of misophonia?
12-year-old granddaughter has had symptoms of Misophonia for about 18 months. It has recently gotten much worse. She has self-hate and is rejecting her family. She is beligerent and self-destructive, and has had to be hospitalized. This is believed to be a limbic nervous system abnormality. What treatments are available to treat the mental agitation and aggression?

Misophonia is caused by the bands in the brain being thicker than normal according to 1 professional. Misophonia can have a visual, odor and a touch trigger for a person as well. The very sight of somebody sweeping food from their teeth when eating sends my daughter to rage.

Please Help me about my severe misophonia. Age 30 is when It got out of control for me. My own parent, people around and family members all trigger the sounds to the point I destroyed objects, verbally attacked my parent, and desperate to be homeless JUST TO ESCAPE misophonia sounds!!! I need help badly and this is not the real me! I can be normal but misophonia is stopping any normal in me! What is causing the madness in disgusting sounds I always have to hear! Someone give me advice please!!!
Sorry to read about what you are going through. Am not knowledgeable about this and cannot offer help but am interested as an adult family member cannot stand the noise of someone she lives with making noise eating such things as potato chips, crunching, etc. One different may be that the relative eats with mouth open - not sure if because of nasal blockage etc., but am wondering if it is only this particular noise or of others eating softer foods with mouths closed. It doesn't sound as traumatic as the above stories and it must be horrible/frightening to have this ... does your Doctor know and has he/she suggested any possible medication or some sessions with a therapist..... hope get some more comments on here to help you through this to find the cause and cure!

I have learned a lot about misophonia resources that have been life saving. I would be glad to talk with you if you want information I have spent a year gathering.
Also there is 2 training events coming up.
A misophonia conference in Albuquerque New Mexico on the second third and fourth of November and then through Macedonia international. They are offering a parent clinician and individual training for parents and people that work with our children on November 7 and 9th in the evening. If you sign up for the class you have access to the training for 30 days and you can use your signup for the entire family /team for your child. The lady teaching that has been a great resource for our situation. I would be glad to share resources if you want to email me.
So quiet will send you misophonia cards to hand out to explain the disorder to others that are making the noises. They are free!
I have posted resources that are helping our family greatly!
