Explaining what it feels like to
hear voices is not easy especially if you have never had the
experience. Some people, who have hearing voices is a common experience lasting
for days or months and in some cases long term. Auditory hallucinations may vary
and each experience with hearing the voices can be different.
Hearing the voices is often heard
as though they were generated from outside of the ears but can be as if they
are thoughts in their head or an internal thought. Many believe it telepathy. What is called inspirational ideas do not
encompass the concept of hearing voices.
Hearing voices is a sign of a medical or mental disturbance.
Certain description of hallucinations are as a
thought that appears as words in the person’s mind. The voice could talk
coherently to the person or engage in conversation. The person is not in
control of what the voice says. There are many different types of
hallucinations including: visions, images, tastes, smells, and touch. Hearing
voices can be a different way for other people.
Some would even hear the voices
inside or outside their heads or even from their bodies. They could her just
one voice or hear many of them. They hear the voice as something that talks to
you or talks about you.
Hearing voices is like a dream or
nightmare except that it does happen in real life. The voices are present all
day for some people and can disrupt their normal routines every day. Some of
the voices tend to be abusive and commands the person to do various acts as is common
with schizophrenia.
To hear voices is a disturbing
experience. Hearing voices are considered as an auditory hallucination in
psychiatry and as symptoms for schizophrenic disorders, bipolar disorder and
psychosis. Medication such as, antipsychotics are used to control the
hallucinations.
Not everyone responds to this
treatment however, it is extremely rare that the hallucinations can not be
controlled
Studies have found out that some
people who hear voices are able to cope well without any psychiatric
intervention. It was also found out that the people who hear voices who can
regard them as a positive part of their life and not as negative aspects of
their lives.
Throughout history there are those who have
said that the voices that they hear are comforting and inspirational. Despite
that it is still considered as a sign of a psychosis or other mental aberration.
For some coping with voices can
be a relationship with the voices: even if they experienced them as abusive,
guiding or inspirational.
By some professionals hearing
voices can be thought of a something real, meaningful, at times painful,
overwhelming and fearful.
Hallucinations can make the
person see, hear or feel things that are not really there. The experiences are
not real but for the person experiencing it, the visions and all the other sensations
that feels is real. There is a break from reality.
This condition is diagnosed with
other disorders, in dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, substance abuse
and some personality disorders. Many famous people all throughout history are
reported to have experienced hallucinations at some degree. It can also be
triggered when someone loses a loved one or if they have had a traumatic
childhood experience. The symptoms of hallucinations on these conditions can be
temporary.
