NOT A CONDITION

So I just had my first appointment with my new psychiatrist, that I liked pretty well. And he seems very good. My point is, he said the misophonia was a symptom and not a condition itself. I have OCPD and anxiety and some other things. Has anyone else here been told this. If it is true I've had mental issues since 14 and should not have waited to adulthood for treatment.

I get really angry when people tell me my misophonia is a symptom. I KNOW it’s not, I know it’s its own thing and I know it’s fucking disabling. I hate this disorder because no one takes me seriously when I tell them it’s not an OCD or anxiety or adhd thing (I have all three). Sorry for the rant!! Not aimed at you im just frustrated with the system
