/sci/,

i have a voice in my head that talks to me. it isn't several voices, it's just one. the voice is distinct from me, as i can have my own train of thought yet the voice can engage in discussion with my consciousness. the conversation is always intelligent, and on topic with whatever would be on my mind at the time. is this normal?

I would imagine it would be pretty hard to diagnose something like schizophrenia over the internet, especially just going off of hallucinations. You're looking for things that aren't real but look/sound real to the sufferer. But you only have his account of what's real and what isn't. Unless he believes something impossible happened, it's going to be hard to tell. But I don't have any expertise on this field.

>i personally can't describe the tone of my own voice, but the "voice in my head" sounds different - slightly deeper with an older-sounding tone.

Then how can you assert that the voice that communicates to you, isnt your own voice, when you dont even know the tone of your own voice?

>>3979237
A single article showing a correlation (!) does not a theory make. There is a whole body of literature purposing a myriad of different causes for schizophrenia.

More importantly:
>those patients with acute psychosis, female patients and patients with suspiciousness scores on the BPRS of 4 or over, the differences were not statistically significant.

During waking dreams I can generate people and have discussions with them. The dream people appear to have their own conciousness independant of my own. It doesn't feal like I'm thinking for them. I can even create more than one and watch them argue with eachother.

It would be really scary if people started talking to me in my head outside of dreams without my control.
