Hearing Auditory Voices from Inside: Reason and Type

Some hear voices from inside, a kind of exceptional event encountered under extreme circumstances, while others live with their “voices” like a family for a prolong period of time. Now what do these people mean when they complain that they hear certain unusual voices? Are these sounds always a definite symbol of severe mental distress? Some of the reasons behind this problem are detailed here in-order to understand or describe the reason behind these hallucinations. Go through this:

Inner thoughts replicated as inner voices

For some people who encounter this kind of voices, these sounds are nothing but their inner thoughts, hopes or unfulfilled, unconsciously nurtured dreams. They are basically imaginative persons living in a world of fantasy. We, the so called normal people, also have internal monologues and this inner call is like a form of inner realistic speech or dialogue we want to hear at times, especially when in dilemma. These kinds of thoughts are always personalized and vary from person to person, coming from deep inside and not from any external invisible source.

Stress related voice audition

Some times excessive stress or exhaustion may result certain kind of mental illusion, in which people come across several voices which have no materialistic explanation. These kinds of sounds are characterized as being inconsistent. But these are very much real for the person hearing them and he or she believes that these sounds are truly existent.

Voices due to mental illness

Voices may also take birth due to certain kind of mental imbalance (schizophrenia, bipolar mood disorder with psychosis). This can be of any type starting from clouding of consciousness (delirium). The person generally goes in a state of intoxication and starts hearing several sounds around him or her.

Possible treatments of this kind of disorder:

•    Periodic Counseling
•    Counseling after performing hypnotism
•    Meditation
•    Proper Yoga
•    Several neuronal medicines (should be taken strictly under the supervision of medical professionals)
•    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Positron Emission Tomography (PET): Scans the brain and lights up the auditory cortex involved in the hallucination process.

If you too are the victim of this kind of disorder and often ask people ‘why there are so many voices in my head?’, then quickly consult a good physiatrist or a neuro surgeon to get yourself treated early as otherwise the things may turn worse.
