Voices or “hearing voices” often refers to auditory hallucinations, hearing sounds or speech that others don’t hear. This experience can occur in conditions like schizophrenia, severe trauma, or extreme stress. For some, the voices are threatening or distressing; for others, they may feel comforting or neutral. Hearing voices doesn’t always mean someone is dangerous or out of touch with reality. With the right support, many people learn to manage this experience and live full lives.
