Specializes in Psychiatry

? Are you referring: to increased startle reflex? If yes, you could be evaluated to determine cause, so that a treatment plan could be designed.

Exaggerated startle : Is the technical term. May be due to some sort of underlying anxiety disorder or other medical condition. A doctor assessment to make a diagnosis and/or run tests and referrals will help sort this out and thus determine the appropriate treatment. All the best
