Misophonia is a sound sensitivity disorder characterized by unusually strong aversions to a specific class of sounds (e.g., eating sounds). Here we demonstrate the mental health profile in children who develop misophonia, examining depression, anxiety and ADHD. Our participants were members of the birth cohort ALSPAC (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children). We screened them for misophonia as adults, then analysed their retrospective mental health data from ages 7 to 16 years inclusive, reported from both children and parents. Data from their Development and Wellbeing Assessments (7-15 years) and their Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaires (9-16 years) show that our misophonia group had a greater likelihood of childhood anxiety disorder and depression in childhood (but not ADHD). Our data provide the first evidence from a large general population sample of the types of mental health co-morbidities found in children who develop misophonia.
恐音症是一种声音敏感障碍，其特征是对特定类别的声音（如进食声音）有异常强烈的厌恶感。在此，我们展示了患有恐音症的儿童的心理健康状况，研究了抑郁、焦虑和注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）。我们的参与者是出生队列研究“埃文亲子纵向研究”（ALSPAC）的成员。我们在他们成年后对其进行恐音症筛查，然后分析他们从7岁到16岁（含）的回顾性心理健康数据，这些数据由儿童和家长报告。来自他们的发育与幸福感评估（7 - 15岁）以及简短情绪与情感问卷（9 - 16岁）的数据表明，我们的恐音症组在童年期患焦虑症和抑郁症的可能性更大（但不包括ADHD）。我们的数据首次从大量普通人群样本中提供了证据，证明了患有恐音症的儿童中存在的心理健康共病类型。
