The aim of this research was to develop and validate an instrument to screen for misophonia in the general population. Study 1 developed and explored the factor structure and item quality of the New York Misophonia Scale (NYMS), which originally included 42 triggers and 13 behavioral reactions. A sample of 441 American adults responded to the instrument via social media platforms. Of the original 42 triggers, 25 clustered into 4 factors: repetitive actions, mouth sounds, ambient object sounds, and ambient people sounds. The 13 behavioral reactions loaded on to 2 factors, aggressive and nonaggressive reactions. Study 2 evaluated the psychometric properties of the final version of the NYMS using a sample of 200 American adults. The results supported the validity of the factor structure and the reliability of the final version of the NYMS from Study 1. Finally, Study 3 explored the concurrent and convergent validity of the final version of the NYMS with the Misophonia Questionnaire (MQ) and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form (DERS-SF). A sample of 171 adult participants completed all of the scales. Good concurrent validity was found with the MQ and good convergent validity was found with the DERS-SF. Overall, the NYMS appears to be a useful and promising instrument for assessing misophonia triggers, severity of distress elicited, and behavioral reactions to the distress in the general population.</p>","PeriodicalId":16909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychiatric Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10199563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 41-year-old male with no previous psychiatric diagnoses presented with impulsivity, grandiosity, delusions of telepathy, and hyperreligiosity following a previous hospitalization for an acute adrenal crisis and 2 subsequent days of low-dose corticosteroid treatment. Workups for encephalopathy and lupus cerebritis were negative, raising concern that this presentation might represent steroid-induced psychosis. However, discontinuation of corticosteroids for 5 days did not resolve the patient's manic episode, suggesting that his clinical presentation was more likely new onset of a primary mood disorder or a psychiatric manifestation of adrenal insufficiency itself. The decision was made to restart corticosteroid treatment for the patient's primary adrenal insufficiency (formerly known as Addison disease), coupled with administration of both risperidone and valproate for mania and psychosis. Over the following 2 weeks, the patient's manic symptoms resolved, and he was discharged home. His final diagnosis was acute mania secondary to autoimmune adrenalitis. Although acute mania in adrenal insufficiency is quite rare, clinicians should be aware of the range of psychiatric manifestations associated with Addison disease so that they can pursue the optimal course of both medical and psychiatric treatment for these patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":16909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychiatric Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9640382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
