[QUOTE="totoro, post: 258821, member: 3155"] K doesn't have command hallucinations. She has had the mean voices in the past. Now it is mostly OK. They still get angry but on a much less frequency. She will talk about them when she is hypo or manic. She is pretty much OK with the voices at this point and talks with her psychiatrist about them. Because they are part of her Bipolar her psychiatrist is not so concerned yet. She does not feel she has schizo-affective disorder or schizophrenia. Nor do we upon much thorough research. We will see how it unravels as she gets older. The AP"S seem to keep it under control for the most part. I have seen a correlation with stress, anxiety etc. and her visual or auditory hallucinations. For K at times they are actually a sense of comfort. K and her psychiatrist have an open dialogue about the voices and visuals. The rule is she has to leave them at home, this doesn't work, but it gives her something to work on. It also lets her know that it is OK. psychiatrist also feels that for some BiPolar (BP) patients this symptom does go away with time and therapy. Especially if it isn't schizophrenia, which most times it isn't, Schizophrenia is very rare. But if K were having command hallucinations or they were scaring her or not being decreased by medications, I would have a call into and pushing psychiatrist for answers and help. Also like the others said I would look into the medications anyway... you never know. [/QUOTE]
