Sound-Rage: A Primer of the Neurobiology and Psychology of a Little Known Anger Disorder

Sound-Rage, commonly known as â€œMisophonia,â€ is a little known disorder characterized by an anger response to certain sounds. Gum popping, food chewing, nose sniffing, pen clickingâ€¦ fingers pointing, legs swinging, hair twirlingâ€¦. For the vast majority of people, these sounds and sights are meaningless. For a small minority of the population, these sounds and sights are triggers that lead to instant rage and set off a physiological urge to flee. The primer presents groundbreaking research on the neurobiology and psychology of the disorder, and provides compelling evidence that â€œSound-Rageâ€ is a neurological, developmental disorder that alters neural processes in the brain. It discusses why cognitive behavior therapy is the most effective treatment for reducing symptoms.
