Verbal hallucinations.

Verbal hallucinations (or auditory hallucinations) are a type of hallucinations that manifests itself as a voice (or voices) uttering a phrase (call) or a rather long speech. The voice can be masculine, feminine or childish, neutral or directed towards a person. The most dangerous verbal hallucinations are those that are heard by a person in the form of an order to do something.

The causes of auditory hallucinations lie in mental or traumatic brain damage, can develop against the background of inflammatory processes caused by a bacterial or viral infection, toxic brain damage (for example, with unsupervised drug intake), psychosis, alcoholism, deep lingering neurosis.

Sometimes verbal hallucinations can be just a defect in the operation of a hearing device (amplifier), which catches extraneous waves, or the result of a hearing disorder in the ear, which transforms noise into a kind of whisper.

A visit to a doctor and treatment of auditory hallucinations is usually required if the auditory hallucinations become persistent, and the person understands the meaning of the phrases he hears quite well. For loved ones, a person suffering from auditory hallucinations should not be the subject of ridicule, because no one knows for sure what other jokes a brain disorder can play with a person (this area has not been well studied yet). There are a number of drugs that can successfully remove a person suffering from verbal hallucinations from an unpleasant state of mind, but the appointment of these drugs is the prerogative of the doctor, and self-medication of auditory hallucinations with drugs is inappropriate and unsafe.
