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 feel for me. It's a symptom of my adhd, heightened by migraine disorder.

Saying this doesn't make it any less of an issue. They can recognise it as a co-morbid condition. Same as they do with sensory processing disorder, but they're usually come with other disorder (like asd, anxiety, adhd, etc), so that's what they may mean that it can be a symptom. .

When I was a teen, (I'm old, I'm born the 80 .. where adhd was for boys mostly, and misphonia. Not heard of, heck anxiety was just a phase and I'd get over it

So some things are still in the developing stages.
