SABINA

Music Intolerable, Produces Nervousness

• In the mental picture of Sabina, there is a heightened sensitivity to external stimuli, particularly to music.
• Patients often find music, which is generally soothing for many, to be intolerable.
• It does not relax or uplift them; instead, it agitates their nervous system and causes nervousness or irritability.
• This reaction is not limited to loud or intense music but can happen even with gentle tunes.
• The patient may feel overwhelmed, anxious, and unable to concentrate, leading to a state of restlessness or irritation.
• This symptom reflects Sabina’s impact on individuals who are already emotionally and mentally strained, where any additional sensory input, like music, worsens their inner discomfort.

In essence, Sabina patients are so mentally and emotionally hypersensitive that what typically brings joy or calmness to others—such as music—becomes a source of distress.
