Stephen Geller Katz, LCSW-R, with over 20 years of clinical experience, a New York University graduate, developed Misophonia Cognitive Retraining Therapy and founded Misophonia Cognitive Center™ in response to the growing number of people with Misophonia coming to his private practice from audiologists and ENTs. He discovered that by helping people to retrain and reinterpret the thoughts around their Misophonia, anxiety and depression symptoms began to improve. But even more important so did the Misophonic trigger response.

Can Dietary Supplements Help with Misophonia?

 Can Dietary Supplements Help with Misophonia?For those seeking out a treatment for Misophonia, it may seem like very few solutions exist. This condition is not one that has many types of physical symptoms. However, it does have a number of more invasive and worrisome mental health outcomes if it is not treated. That is why it is so important for men and women suffering from Misophonia to seek out medical care. With the help of a trained and experienced LCSW-R in New York City, you can see the improvement you are looking for and start to feel better about your condition.

Can You Fix It With Supplements?

Supplements are becoming one of the most commonly sought cures for many types of diseases. While supplements may help some people in some situations, they are not the first line of treatment or the only type of treatment that a person with Misophonia needs. In fact, you should not use this as your first approach as well. Supplements should be secondary to meeting with your doctor and obtaining the therapy that is necessary. Other types of noninvasive treatment options are available as well. However, some people may need a bit more support.

 Can Dietary Supplements Help with Misophonia?Doctors do not know what the specific cause of Misophonia is. However, it is a condition in which the brain reacts to a specific sound. As a result, it may be related to hormone imbalances or changes in a persons overall makeup. If you are not getting enough of the nutrients your body needs, this can impact your mental health. Doctors have not linked specific types of dietary supplements to improving Misophonia just yet. However, you may be able to see some improvement if you focus on a multi-vitamin that introduces the nutrients into your diet that you are not otherwise getting.

When you work with your doctor, discuss how supplementation can help you. Some people benefit from taking vitamins and minerals. Some types of nutrients, like fish oil, can help to improve mental health and help protect the brain from worsening conditions. Your doctor can help you determine if this type of support may help in your case.

 Can Dietary Supplements Help with Misophonia?Your first step in getting treatment for Misophonia is to speak to a trained professional. When you meet with the best LCSW-R in New York City, you can begin to get the help you need. That may include supplements to support your body’s overall health.
