This article is very very irresponsible. Telling people that if their hallucinations are "positive" they do not need to seek medical help boarders on the criminal. Very dire conditions can cause perfectly benign seeming hallucinations. The key word here is HALLUCINATIONS. If you have them seek medical attentions period. Alice you really have to stop giving medical advice since you are clearly not able to do so responsibly. Again, what is your medical training?

I agree that this article is irresponsible. Auditory hallucinations are NOT based if you start the day happy or otherwise. The hallucinations are real and to say 'just think them away' is just sad advice probably from someone who has never experienced this.

I too agree. Irresponsible and full of the usual delusions that left brain psychiatry is full of. The so-called rational minded "authorities" are very afraid of emotions and things they can't control. They are terrified of things they can't explain. The voices for many hearers are quite real external beings, albeit non physical ones. Indigenous people's called them demons. I think of them as demonic in behaviour bUT spiritual in origin. They have the same spiritual issues the hearer has and are brought together through the law of attraction to help each other deal with these issues....mainly the misconception that power is outside of the self.

Hallucinations are not due to a spiritual cause, but rather a chemical imbalance. Whether this imbalance is due to genes or a bad experience during formative years, the result is the same. This is what keeps the Pharmas in business! I take Zoloft and Klonopin. And sometimes that isn't enough. Boom Boom ain't it great to be crazy?

A few years ago I had some very weird auditory hallucinations, it was complete freaking random screeching of non-sense. Constantly changing pitch from high to low and speed, it was a voice i guess but it wasn't coherent at all. I had dranken a few beers and smoked a bit of weed before this happend which may have caused it, but i wasn't drunk or very high and they persisted even after i started to sober up. They disappeared after i managed to fall asleep. Now whenever it's quite and i think i hear something I turn on some music or something to keep my brain from putting words to white noise.

The rest of these of these people in the comments are a bunch of witchhunters. How's this for irresponsible? All the peoples misdiagnosed and continuing to believe they cannot take of control an aspect of there life without constant medical attention. Mind you, it's not a medical practictioners job to take initial preventitive measures... that was on you. They treat you when things have gotten out of hand. Period. This is a great read.

I think I have auditory hallucinations because a lot of the times I hear a voice inside my head and I talk to it or I do it in my mind when around other people this is because I don't want people to think that I am crazy I might have schizophrenia but I was never told anyone any doctor that I have it I mostly keep it a secret to avoid getting locked up in a mental institution.

My hallucinations were negative to the core. when I was clam, they will make me mad. Then after they get me mad, then they forced me into deep depression (it sucked hard core). They made me mad by talk negative about me or friends and family. Then it is like they were able to hold you there in that state of mind almost all day. It was like they were trying to force me to be something else that wasn't me, and if the hallucinations wasn't making me mad or sad. They would talk about girls that was hot or not( pretty much any girl over 18). When I got tired of it. It got on my nerves. I think the hallucinations may have been around my whole life. they were never that evil or even evil at all. Why the hell did change from good and friendly, to bad and evil? Maybe it was change of environment and group. Life getting better thou through medications and therapy. From Joshua George Zaochney
