Hi.

I understand your concern .

Auditary hallucination can be a part of psychotic illness like schizophrenia or it can be also seen in bipolar disorder.

Treatment is different in both the cases.
For proper treatment it is necessary to have confirmed diagnosis.

It can be traeted with medicine like anti psychotics.

If it is part of bipolar disorder then treatment with mood stabilizer is necessary.

Psychotic illness require long term treatment and prognosis is not good as bipolar disorder.

Discuss with your treating doctor aand get help .

Medicines are must and regular follow up will bring good results.

Consult psychiatrist and get help .
Thank you .
Glad to hear from you .
