I ve been hearing voices in my head lately for at least a month now. They seem to increase just before bed, and during school. At night it keeps me up, and during school they keep my distracted. Sometimes it is even multiple voices, other times it is just one. They tell me to do things, mainly bad things but I do not listen to them. Am I going crazy? What does this mean? What is the cause?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your question... I understand that you are going through a difficult TME. Hearing voices is indicative of a psychiatric problem called psychosis, which in turn is caused due to certain neurochemical imbalances in the brain. It doesn't mean that you are going crazy. This just indicates that you need help. I would advise you to talk to your parents about this, so that they can take you to a doctor for a detailed evaluation. Treatment is available to help you overcome this problem and you don't have to be suffering silently. So, please seek professional help at the earliest. Wish you all the best. -
