voices in the head..... (43)
Harryonline: These things I feel at the root is a physical problem, such as chemical imbalance or hormonal.
Please do rule out side effects from any medicines you take. Usually they are trained to give you medicines to counter the side effects...instead of changing over the original medicine to something else. Usually the cheaper meds have more side effects, and they do not want to give you more expensive ones due to the cost.
Have you ruled out any of these things.
Sorry your going through this. The TV series Magnum PI was a wash with "the little voice in my head" and it was a hit TV show! but if these voices are "louder" than this and getting on your nerves, I think it will take a slow but sure attempt at eliminating one by one the possible cause.
Personally I would under the direction of my GP, stop all medicines that may induce this effect...over a six month duration be clean from it...and then take it from there.

the chemical imbalance is a theory not fact. there is no test for it or hormonal test either so it wish/wash....my alternative is to live a satisfactory life and to accept my perdictument and that is what im doing plus getting it out there to reduce stigma attached misguided fears about such sufferings!! ect..

Pedro, perhaps you could've said this in your OP then. You stated a question in your OP, thus inviting feedback and opinions. I have a friend that has this condition as well. She has on a serious cocktail of medications so that she can live a normal life. When she stops taking the meds (because she feels fine), or starts consuming alcohol (because she claims alcohol is not a drug and does not mess with the balance of the meds), then she begins hearing the voices again, she starts doing unusual things and acting erratically and dangerously. She will not accept that drinking alcohol is a cause of this psychotic behavior.
Yet, when she does hit rock bottom, and she does stop the alcohol and nicotene, and begins the climb back to a healthy diet, meditation, and taking the meds regularly, she is back to herself and can function quite normally.

Are there times when its better ? and if so, is there a pattern ?
I would try to focus on some project or hobby which I find so interesting that nothing else occupies my time or mind.
Having too much time - floods your mind with thoughts
I see this occurring with those I know.

We are our own worst enemy, for you it might be more sever the fight.
As a silly analogy but poignant nonetheless, remember Superman got bad, was unkempt, unshaven, drunkard - and the fight with the good side to him.

Kaybee50: You know fully well that I was not discussing what causes the inception of a mental illness.
You also know fully well that mixing drugs will indeed decrease the effectiveness of your medications, thus, creating this cycle of dependency.

Why do you create a thread about mental illness, as you often do, and do not allow for others' input?i'm shading light on a taboo the fear of mental ill people there misguided info most mental ill people are not dangerious most are id say better in many than genral public!!
Why do you intentionally take words out of context. We were speaking of hearing voices, weren't we? You spoke of considering suicide at a younger age, a dangerous act, weren't you? Keeping to these two points, I stand by why have I written. Alcohol mixed with heavy medications will decrease the effectiveness of the meds, and bring back the symptoms of the illness.
I'm leaving this thread.

pedro27: where do voices in the head come from because nobody knows not even psycharists....how do you rate the suffering it causes?on a scale?
This is the evolution of memes.
Psychiatrists don't know anything because they're busy suffering to know.
Suffering? Thoughts do not cause suffering, they are suffering manifested; but could just as well be joy.
Take two cationic peptoid polymers and call me in the morning.

A situation could cause suffering for one, or joy for another...thoughts will decide which.
Or is this a chicken and egg conundrum?

Psychedelic drugs, self-obsession, lack of hard work to focus the mind, alcohol, etc.
So many potential causes.

Drugs and Alcohol really don't help Mental Illness,but sometimes i feel the diagnosis of Mental Health uses Alcohol/Drugs as an excuse to diagnoses a person as dependent on Drugs/Alcohol,and then totally disregards Mental Illness.

I have a friend/co-worker that started hearing voices coming in.
I helped him...I got work to understand they had a problem and had to help him or?
He has medication but is still working and seen him today.
But if he smokes pot he is gone for a few days. My Friend.

Yea that's the Medical opt out,stop your Alcohol/Drugs and if it continues they will get a better idea of your Mental Health issue,and then they can then actually show some consideration to you properly, because you have.
The Chicken/Egg Syndrome spot on Molly,but then some do say the shell came first

Do you not think that people should also take responsibility for their own actions too?
E.g. taking drugs that induce psychosis. Mixing depressants with anti-depressants, etc.
One can only blame outside influences up to a point. It is up to the individual also.

Yea i agree with you,it's hard for people sometimes though,and i recognize that as well,ultimately though your right.
It's your own body and mind you have to look after number 1,or nobody else will.
