What is Misokinesia?

There isn't yet a known treatment or cure for misokinesia. At present, coping methods can include emotion regulation therapy, communicating with others about the disorder, and using barriers to block triggering visuals.

Do you feel angry or panicked when you see someone shaking their leg, picking at their fingernails, twirling their hair, and other movements other people make? That could be misokinesia.

Misokinesia is a real disorder and, while definitions vary, a disability is usually any mental or physical condition that impacts a person's ability to carry out one or more typical life activities, such as schooling, work, social activities, home life, relationships, shopping, etc.
