A misophonia case: psychotic patient with tactile hallucinations triggered by misophonia

Misophonia is a psychiatric condition characterized by extreme sensitivity to sounds that are frequently heard in life and that the general population is not even aware of. It is known that misophonic complaints coexist with anxiety disorder and obsessive disorder, but in this case, we will talk about a case whose tactile hallucinations were triggered by misophonia. In our case, the remission of psychotic disorder symptoms with medical treatment and the decrease in misophonic complaints bring to mind the possibility of a connection between these two conditions. The point to be noted is that: In this case, antipsychotic treatment resulted in a reduction in psychotic symptoms, especially tactile hallucinations, but misophonia still persisted even though discomfort has decreased. This shows that misophonia was not a psychotic symptom but might occur as a comorbid condition with psychotic disorders just like anxiety disorders or depression.

Abstract

Misophonia is a psychiatric condition characterized by extreme sensitivity to sounds that are frequently heard in life and that the general population is not even aware of. It is known that misophonic complaints coexist with anxiety disorder and obsessive disorder, but in this case, we will talk about a case whose tactile hallucinations were triggered by misophonia. In our case, the remission of psychotic disorder symptoms with medical treatment and the decrease in misophonic complaints bring to mind the possibility of a connection between these two conditions. The point to be noted is that: In this case, antipsychotic treatment resulted in a reduction in psychotic symptoms, especially tactile hallucinations, but misophonia still persisted even though discomfort has decreased. This shows that misophonia was not a psychotic symptom but might occur as a comorbid condition with psychotic disorders just like anxiety disorders or depression.
