What Causes Hallucinations?

I hear voices in my head, they are very annoying, they are telling me to do things often, like- ''Keep turning the light switch on and off'', or- ''Repeat a sentence over and over again, or else, something bad will happen to you if you don't do it''.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I would like to know for how many days you are suffering from this type of problem. Many people who hear voices are able to live with them and may consider them a positive part of their lives. Many people hear voices but never find them a problem or need to seek help from mental health services.

Hearing voices are still considered by psychiatry as an auditory hallucination and as a symptom of conditions such as schizophrenic disorders, manic depression and psychosis. You need to consult a psychiatrist if the voices are really troubling you.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
