Namaste and welcome to my blog, my friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to read my thoughts. Let's just jump right in and get started.
Misophonia is a disorder in which certain sounds such as eating, chewing, loud breathing, snoring, and repeated pen-clicking, for example, trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable given the circumstances. These likely come from the sympathetic nervous system that regulates our fight, flight, or fuck responses.
Someone who has this disorder might describe a certain sound that "drives you crazy", ranging from an angry or annoyed reaction to panic and the need to flee, a.k.a. the fight or flight response I mentioned previously.
Although this is not recognized in the DSM-IV ("Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders") and it is not classified as a hearing or psychiatric disorder. It is thought to be related to a form of sound-emotion synesthesia, with parallels to some anxiety disorders.

Be courteous to those with mental health issues. Treat others the way you would like to be treated, yourself.
This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
