Dolan at PsyPost. &#8220;This means that genes that give a sensitivity to PTSD also increase the likelihood for misophonia, and that could point to a shared neurobiological system that affects both. And that could suggest that treatment techniques used for PTSD could also be used for misophonia.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This doesn&#8217;t mean misophonia and these other conditions necessarily have shared mechanisms, only that some of the genetic risk factors may be similar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com\/article\/S0006-3223(20)30697-1\/abstract\">Previous research<\/a> found people who experience misophonia are more likely to internalize their distress. Smit and team&#8217;s research, published last year, also backed this up, showing strong links with personality traits such as worry, guilt, loneliness, and neuroticism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responses to a triggering sound can range from irritation and anger to distress that interferes with everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It has been argued\u2026 that misophonia is based on the feelings of guilt about the evoked irritation and anger rather than behavioral expressions of anger itself that causes the distress,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fnins.2022.971752\">explains<\/a> Smit and team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were less likely to experience misophonia. This was unexpected as those with ASD have a decreased tolerance to sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Our results suggest that misophonia and ASD are relatively independent disorders with regard to genomic variation,&#8221; the researchers <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fnins.2022.971752\">write in their paper<\/a>. &#8220;It raises the possibility that other forms of misophonia exist, one that is mostly driven by conditioning of anger or other negative emotionality to specific trigger sounds moderated by personality traits.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smit and colleagues caution their data was mostly European so the same links may not show up in different populations. What&#8217;s more, misophonia was not medically diagnosed in their data samples, only self-reported which may also skew the results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But their study also provides clues for where further research could focus to find the biological mechanism behind misophonia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This research was published in <\/span><em><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fnins.2022.971752\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frontiers in Neuroscience<\/span><\/a><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencealert.com\/misophonia-has-genetic-links-to-anxiety-and-depression-study-shows\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most people can relate to feeling uncomfortable when someone scrapes their nails down a chalkboard, those suffering from misophonia can have an equally intense reaction to sounds like slurping, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=114712\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=114712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114712\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=114712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=114712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=114712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
