ELI5, Schizophrenic Voices. Are they “legitimate” voices in your head, or more like an extra intrusive normal voice similar to you saying to yourself in your head, “I need to buy bread today”.

After reading some of these comments from people who suffer from auditory and/or visual hallucinations, I think we should admire the courage it takes to live with mental illness. Schizophrenia must be terrifying to live with and it must be extremely frustrating to try to explain it to doctors and society in general.

I truly wish we lived in a world that was more understanding and supportive of people who suffer from an unhealthy mind. There is so much judgment, so many jokes, but in reality, it can be more crippling than physical illness and can be fatal under the wrong conditions. We need a world that offers support instead of judgment and criticism. Respect to those who are fighting a good fight every damn day.
