Disturbed sleep can cause auditory hallucination (EHS) , I have had hyper realistic gunshots, explosions, tires bursting, smashing glass, buzzers, phone rings.These are short but I see no reason why they couldn't involve a voice. There is no message or delusion involved.

Just came across your channel, and YES! I am a true crime junkie and very much interested in anything psychology! Thank you for your videos! I’m a subscriber now! To answer your questions, I have once heard someone blowing in my ear (just the sound of it, I didn’t actually feel it), when I was at my worst stage of depression in which I started becoming violent. It’s definitely outside of my head right to my ear. But that’s the only time I’ve heard anything and I’ve since tried my best to stop myself from deteriorating. I always wonder what’s gonna happen if I let it go on.

Cyber Bullying kills people . Cyber Bullying causes distress .

From an EIP perspective, this video is brilliant. All your videos are incredibly informative

Have run across several other people who never had a mental illness start hearing voices and we all been comparing notes

Great to see subscriber numbers creeping up. Really worthwhile and funny.

What does it mean if you find yourself muttering things without intention? Particularly the name of someone from the past?

Completely ❤ you and your channel.

I came to find this video after hearing voices over the past few months. I usually am having a dream and I can hear my mother but I can't find her and when I wake up I still feel like I was so close to finding her. I also have been told I call out to her in my sleep on occasion. Thanks for the great vid might have to give your channel a binge watch 😊

One time over a decade ago I was extremely sleep deprived (college, work and attempted social life meant sacrificing sleep) and hallucinated a man standing in my hallway. The only reason I knew it wasn't real is because my dog wasn't freaking out.

Why aren’t more guys subscribing to this guys utube channel 😂….even though I have thought that ..love the Witt ..and love this channel extremely interesting and educational ..

I have MS. I have hypnagogic & hypnopompic hallucinations. Sometimes, they are visual, tactile, and auditory. I have EHS as well. Exploding head syndrome. Have fun with that one. Prior to my Narcolepsy with Cataplexy dx, I was treated for Schitzophrenia. I do wonder if that has an effect on me.

I've wondered about some of these questions. Thanks for answering them for us

I have heard my own children voice when I am asleep. They call my name loud and clear in my room. I wake up thinking it's them. No one is in my room just me.

Wow, I had no idea hearing voices was that common or that normal in a lot of situations. I'm curious as to how easily people admit to hearing voices? The wide assumption that this must be a sign of severe mental illness I'm assuming would make people hesitant.

I have heard voices a handful of times only. Unrelated to sleeping, waking, trauma, loss of a loved one etc. Totally out of the blue, usually when tasking, something repetitive or monotonous. The most notable was when I was up ladders painting the kitchen. I heard various voices, more like thoughts, rather than hearing as you would usually describe hearing. Different ages, different people, some male some female. A little like tuning in a radio channel, where you would get snippets of different things. I heard car number plates being read out, place names, names of people, descriptions, a real mess of information. I climbed down off the ladder and turned the radio on, sang along to the song and that was that, gone. On another occasion I was drying my hair getting ready for work, and realised that the bedroom door wasn’t open but had closed to. I stood up to wedge it open, and heard a male voice, grouchy, impatient, again more like a thought than hearing a normal voice. He said, “Are you opening the door to let yourself out, or me in?” Spooky haha! Weird stuff happens very occasionally, I put it down to an active brain and an overactive imagination.

Very interesting! Binge watching you today.

Brain interpreting white noise and making it make sense to itself. I've had it a few times but I don't have a diagnosis of any mental illness, I knew what it was and was kind of fascinated by it, but it's rarely it happens. A few months later I had a seizure and I was disassociated because I was far too alone far too much and was devastated for years because of the lack of contact with family and didn't meet decent friends to replace the void.

I only hear my conscience voice. 🙂

After starting antidep. & anti-anxiety pills recently, I've had 1 auditory hallucination of a symphony playing and 2 visual halluc. of a spider crawling on my bed. Really startled me because this type of thing hasn't happened to me. I was thinking it may be my brain getting used to the meds? This was all about 2 mos. ago.

Hey again Doc! I have at many times heard voices in my life starting from late teen years, they would convey themselves through media eg.(Television, music) and came with some pretty vivid hallucinations! They would feed me a self-fulfilling prophecy that something horrible was going to happen and I was just unaware of it, made me really delusional for a while, I have seemed to be able to deal with it in years since working on my personal development, however, the existential dread/deja vu feeling kicks in and its about being mindful to dismiss it for me! I also have a question out of curiosity; I assume that you operate under the teachings of CBT due to your profession, is this the case or do you use a mixed-approach of humanism or psychodynamics? also what are your thoughts on these schools of psychology?

I think I was misdiagnosed with major depression because my hallucinations and delusions are not only focused on depressed things, I think we are being controlled like dolls or like we are in. A matrix or simulation, I see photos moving until I look, I see garden nomes move or black shadow figures, today I saw a fox and the kids outside didn’t say anything about it, the other day I thought a bird was dying in our attic and My dog didn’t react to it, my dreams seem so real that I wake up checking my body and surroundings, my panic attacks have caused me to hallucinate objects turning into humans, a wasp on my leg, I hear ringing and the shower curtain made noise as if a bug was stuck in it but I just had moved it and then went downstairs for 3 minutes, I can’t sleep with my closet door opened, I’ll also hear tapping, the voices are in my head so to listen to music so I can sing along to quiet the voices, and I’ve thought I had a ghost in my house with long hair brown eyes and brown hair, wearing a white dress and things in the attic

Hey I don't have any cases of mental illness never did but hear voices in my head the voices that I hear encourage me influenced me to do things that they want me to do that I normally don't do

Has any two or more people claim to hear the same voices and can they all respond to it externally or internally?

I heard a voice but it wasnt in my head it was behind me it scared the shit out of me it was a males voice and said u lied then it snapped the eleastic out of my hair and threw it in front of me

Hit me back and let me know what you think I think I can give you some insight on another theory that you might just be interested in

I hear voices in many different ways. First of all, I think with my senses so I usually hear voices be it memories or my own voice talking. I also have trauma, and have heard voices in relation to that within certain situations and also while severe anxiety attacks. Because of my trauma childhood I also have lived with several dissociative states, also a suspected Dissociative Identity Disorder which brings foreign voices to me. But I was also diagnosed with narcolepsy type 1 which makes me dream while I am awake so I usually just chuck my auditory hallusinations to that box. About doctors not believing DID is real, my mother had epilepsy in the 70's. That was treated as a mental disorder and she was many times called a liar, even when she told the doctor about her throat pain. She was believed to be an alcoholic and not treated and she died with thyroid cancer, got buried on my 9th birthday and that sent me on to a lifetime of neglect and mental disorders with autoimmune disease. I was untreated with everything for 25 to 30 years. So I don't think doctors not believing in something is a very dangerous thing. People living with DID do not experience it as fun or exotic, it is a disorder to them. Treatment shouldn't be a trial.

How do you differentiate between the voice in your head and a outside voice?

The voices we hear are real .You NOT accepting it is where the problem begins

Explain this one I am writing and doing a considerable amount of research , I was thinking about something and trying to figure it out and there was a man at the bus stop and he told me the answer without moving his mouth . The man was right after a considerable amount of time spent on the subject he was right definitely, it led me to the Egyptian Ankh it the shape of a mirror . On a couple of occasions I've heard a voice telling me what was going to happen before it happened . I've also felt energy from someone before someone touched me and I felt an extremely heavy weight , I then could determine what this meant . Another time I could feel someone's adrenaline which led me to connect this to another answer concerning my research . I worked in mental health myself and looked at attachment theory and trauma . I've noticed how psychotic illness seems to be compounded among those who have religious beliefs . What would that lady who thought the devil was talking to her never heard about the devil or the ones who saw gods face think if they knew nothing of God. Many admitted to hospital think they are Jesus or some holy person ect . Therefore what about trauma induced psychosis and religious beliefs and culture .

I had a friend who heard voices or sounds. We where in our mid 20s. I definitely think she was suffering from mental illness because its been a decade since I saw her and looking back there where a lot of warning signs I as a friend missed. But she was also abusing prescription drugs and drinking a crazy amount. We had been friends since before we where teens and when I made the suggestion that she inform her doctor of all the issues she was suffering from and neglecting to tell her doctors she flipped on me and this verbally aggressive person came out and it was clear she had been for years harboring a lot of conspiracy theories about me and it eroded our friendship. I do know something hereditary ran in her family but what she was displaying doesn't quite line up with what the illness is described as but a possibility. I stayed with her for a short period of time when I was moving states and she kept thinking that an ex of mine was out in the parking lot stalking us and blaring music to scare us... there was no music and I'd go down to the lot and take a video to try and reassure her and it didn't help ever... she was really out of it. She was my best friend but as I age I realize how not a good of friend she actually was but she was much better than my abusive family so I was determined to stick by her and be a supportive friend but whatever issues she was having with her mental stability got in the way of that. It was heartbreaking when I finally fully understood what was going on... wait who am I kidding I don't fully understand, but I understand the key point: mental illness had a lot more control over her than she had control over it, and due to her self isolation and a lot of paranoia she didn't inform people what was going on and by the time I realized she had demonized me in her head and her explanation for why I was a horrible or bad person was so odd I don't even remember what she said I just knew that when she started citing my cat as proof... that something wasn't right. I have never heard voices... unless you count cat meows... Sometimes when I am falling asleep I think I hear my cat meowing, sometimes he his other times he is asleep on me so its not him. I've often gotten into loopy and magical thinking as I'm just about to fall asleep and that is when sometimes I know my brain is reminding me of things I have heard before. But I'm a really light sleeper so noise disturbance is something that gives me anxiety from time to time as it can make a night turn into a restless one. So I sleep with earplugs sometimes (used to daily for years in a noisy apartment) so sometimes I was thinking I'd be hearing something only to take an earplug out and there not be whatever sound that was that my brain was attempting to rationalize myself into thinking I was hearing. I assume a deprivation tank could cause the same phenomenon in me.

Big up my antidepressant, anti-anxiety and mood stabiliser squad.

Someone I love hears voices and describes it like a bunch of people sitting around a table all yelling stuff at them or putting them down. They also report visual “hallucinations” everything from seeing something in their peripheral vision to seeing something they know is not there for example the person saw their mother standing at the end of the bed but that was not possible. I don’t feel drs have gotten to the bottom of things with them and they aren’t properly diagnosed and medicated. They are having trauma psychotherapy. Any help you may be able to offer would be gratefully accepted.

EVERYONE in planet earth hears. So hearing a voice is typical very repeating - It's just a voice, let... .it .....go. Don't make so much out of things. In my experience, when people I knew or didn't know, .... for that matter, .... "people, " held onto grudges, or hate, or repeatedly blame themselves or anyone other than themselves, anytime....it reinforces us to rethink. Rethinking over-uses our gift of natural healing. Rethinking abuses us. ( Unless it's a good habit, you keep doing for the good.) But even then we reinforce our "EGO". We are human beings, caring and loving by learning it first. WE are supposed to need love. When we don't get that innate created need of usefulness, or prayer learning, or education purpose, or learning self esteem, love, and reinforce our own supportive networking "habits, awareness, kindness, helping others, being helped, rewards for kindness to someone, (even our own reward, like you buy yourself something or pamper yourself) - THAT kind of support helps us grow & learn. Grow good habits. Grow good routine. This is the voice or should I say, positive self talk we all need. It isn't that difficult. Use routine as freedom and support, rather than blame & fear.

Can you hear voices from nanobots?

Drake!? NOOOOO!!

No - it is usually male humans using high tech. radio weapons.

If I'm hearing the word beans do I need a anti psychotic medication

9:37 "which I hear is one of the best in the world" That's unfortunate phrasing considering the topic of the video

To all those who hears the demons voices do me a favor stay away from me . Demons Sprits
