[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I apologize for the strange post. I frequently hear other voices in my head (they are distinct from my own internal monologue). The voices change; they can be male, female, young, old, friendly, mean. Anyways, I just heard a a voice clear as day say “I don’t have to be nice to you”. Usually the voices just say random words or chatter amongst themselves and they don’t bother me. But this has left my feeling a little scared. Also, to be clear, the voices are internal (from my head), not external. I have anxiety and depression. Is this a sign I’m going crazy? [/quote]

It looks as if there are a lot of possible physical explanations for auditory hallucinations, including thyroid problems, epilepsy tumors, hearing loss and side effects of antidepressant drugs, https://www.osmosis.org/answers/auditory-hallucinations

It seems to me that, given your history, and the fact that your post looks like the post of a thoughtful, mentally together person, you need to work extra hard to make sure that your doctors rule out detectable physical causes of hearing voices and not just jump to assuming they’re the result of mental illness.

You have chronic depression, postpartum depression or other mental health issues and also have epilepsy, thyroid problems or a weird case of COVID. So, if possible, it’s good to make sure a doctor is at least considering possible causes, like bad thyroid levels, that could have a big effect on the type of care you should get. [/quote]
