Psychiatry examines maladaptive daydreaming and misophonia
Original: Lost in daydreams? Enraged by chewing sounds? Psychiatry is taking a closer look.
Psychiatrists are taking a closer look at two little-understood conditions: maladaptive daydreaming, in which vivid fantasy becomes compulsive and disruptive, and misophonia, an intense rage or distress triggered by everyday sounds like chewing. The Washington Post reports that researchers are working to define, measure and potentially classify both conditions, a step that could eventually shape diagnosis and treatment for people who long felt their symptoms were dismissed.
Why now: New attention from psychiatrists to two poorly recognised conditions gives many people validation and fuels discussion about whether they should be formally diagnosed.
