Am I ill or is it something else?

The voices you are hearing may well be telepathic voices from real people. Ive told my parents about mine but they think the voices are in my head. I know they aren't.


google.com and telepathic communication if you want to find out more.

I find that hearing voices is a mental disability with an accompanying illness -- and that they are separate issues.

The mental disability is distraction, confusion, having more than one converstation at a time, responding to the intellectual pressures of fear or poverty, while the illness is a whole host of symptoms that are the result of provokation and emotional responses to learned helplessness, that are mostly left unidentified by professionals as a separate treatment aspect. They dont separate the two issues very often and they say the best they can do is persuade people to not fall down or move on with life, if the illness doesnt cause much of an impairment.

The illness aspect however is very predicatable, and it is the result of emotional interference rather than intellectual interference... two different processess, and can create a long term result similar to depression but is actually sublimated emotional provocation. The psychotic medications can help problems with intellectual miscalculations or delusions while other medications can help with emotional problems.

There is no study from within psychiatry about provoked hatred, provoked fustration, or provoked emotion, and its results, that would otherwise demonstrate that they are competent to talk to hearing voice people with any insight or training as to the separte processes being antagonized, -- what is predicatable and how to manage or cope with the horrible emotional confrontation of will fustration and its predictable resulting condition, loss of enjoyment, etc, versus results that are based on intellectual misperceptions, that relate to being stalked or prevented from accessing accommodations that would end these symptoms of fear. It is as if they dont, or we dont differentiate between long term "will fustration" and short term fear, as our emotional behaviour is a person with extreme will frustrated, it is a condition (the illness) but our intellectual behaviour is the behavour of a person in fear or poverty who cannot avoid the intellectual triggers due to lack of a significant accommodation, that fails a standard, (rather than is a condition) of recognizing differences (the disability).

wow the ideas in this thread! brain scans show that the voices come from the same place as your own internal voice (I think it's the same area as when you speak out loud as well). take that for what it's worth, i believe that is good research.

other cultures have different views of voices, and in some they are much less likely to assume it is illness but just a different experience (even without mythology), i've seen this discussed in an documentaries
