    Hi lbalough,


    Thank you so much for asking your question on the SchizophreniaConnection. Dr. Paul Ballas, one of our experts wrote a post about hallucinations that might be useful. You may also find our Understanding Schizophrenia page helpful.


    I hope you find these resources helpful!


    Best of luck,

    I heard of a study about the voices. Everybody talks to themself in their heads. The study showed the same brain activity as schizophrenics hearing voices. There are wiring problems that make the voices seem outside of ourselves. I don't know if it's true or not but it makes sense.

    I've chosen not to try to explain where they come from, only try to understand  now in hindsite after my sister took her life.  She had several voices that she journaled in her last few years, one she called Todd and another darker one called the Animous.  I find your posts very interesting, I hope to see more in the future.
