Suggest Treatment For Auditory Hallucinations

my 12yr old daughter is having episodes at school. She claims she is hearing voices and becomes distraught. The school thinks it is a medical condition or chemical imbalance that they want her tested for. She is also being bullied at school and has made comments that she doesn t feel safe there. I am not sure if the two things go together but this only seems to be a problem at school. I am looking for some input

Hi, according to me, if the problem is real then it should happen even at home. You have said she gets bullied in school and may be she is malingering that she is hearing voices etc. I would suggest that the kid is taken to a psychiatrist and take the specialist's advice.
