This breakout group will explore how hormonal changes across the lifespan may affect misophonia symptoms, including during menstrual cycles, PMDD, pregnancy, postpartum transitions, perimenopause, and menopause. This discussion will offer patients and family members a supportive space to share observations, ask questions, and consider how hormonal shifts may interact with sensory sensitivity, emotional reactivity, and daily functioning.
