Kurt Tunagur findings of Misophonia comorbidities

Kurt Tunagur et al. (2025) administered the A-MISO-S and DASS-21 to 200 Turkish medical students and found that misophonic participants reported significantly higher anxiety, depression, and stress than non-misophonic participants across both sexes, with anxiety emerging as the most robust predictor of misophonia severity in regression. The authors noted that misophonia frequently co-occurs with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive traits, and acknowledged that excluding these comorbidities from their sample limits applicability of their findings to real-world clinical populations. They concluded that misophonia is closely tied to internalizing symptomatology and heightened emotional reactivity rather than being a mere sensory irritation (Kurt Tunagur et al., 2025).
