On this episode of the podcast, Jesse talks about his experience growing up and how a relatively “normal” upbringing could never have prepared him for the onslaught of mental illness and the development of schizophrenia. He discusses what it is like to hear voices, how hallucinations work for people living with schizophrenia, and how he lives such a meaningful and fulfilling life. Jesse is a truly inspiring human being and is a legend in the peer support and consumer survivor community in Toronto.

Hello Jess, thank you for sharing your experience. I hear my inner voice saying the right thing in the way that my elder brother wants or like how he wants me to act, is that considered hallucinations?

Hi, I'm Mike the one in the interview with Jesse who is one of my best friends. I'm not sure if you're referring to the time stamp in the video 11:29? I think the question you're asking is if you have an internal dialogue with yourself is that a hallucination? From my understanding of working with people who experience auditory hallucinations, they describe the thoughts/voices as external voices. So the voice sounds like someone else's voice, not their own. They are called positive symptoms, meaning they are added on to the person's normal experience. So you can hear or be aware of your own thoughts and internal voice, then the external voice is on top of your own inner dialogue/voice. I do think it can be helpful if you have access to it, to speak to a doctor or therapist that you trust and that you think cares about your wellbeing. Let me know if this was helpful or if I can offer any other advice.
