Mark Loughman feels your pain — and he wrote a song about it.
Melissa Gilbert opened up about her experience with the neurological disorder misophonia. She has struggled with it since she was a child, she said. She just recently found treatment and is raising awareness in hopes of helping others. From colonoscopies to neck surgery, Melissa Gilbert has always been open about the ongoings of her health. But it took a lifetime for her to understand, put a name to, and talk about a specific struggle—her experience with the neurological disorder misophonia.
For some people, the condition can even lead to social isolation to avoid triggers.“My worst triggers were and are open-mouthed chewing sounds. There are different levels of bad though,” Gilbert said in a QA with the Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotional Regulation at Duke University’s School of Medicine. “Gum chewing sounds are bad, but popping and snapping gum are worse. Loud chewing of food is bad, but chips of any kind and popcorn are agonizing.
