[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 47452, member: 1550"] I've had auditory hallucinations due to side effects of drugs. They weren't in my voice nor did they tell me what to do. It is my understanding, although I'm not a doctor, that command hallucinations are a bit more serious and could indicate things like psychiatric illnesses. I have a diagnosis of bipolar II/generalized anxiety disorder/panic disorder/mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and I've never heard any voices, even under stress, except when I had drug overdoses from my medications, and the voices at that time did not make a lot of sense to me. I don't think it's common to hallucinate under stress. I can tell you one thing: the thoughts inside your head adn hearing voices are obvious differences, not fine lines. You can easily tell your thoughts from auditory hallucinations. You don't HEAR your thoughts. They are not audible. You actually HEAR voices, just as if somebody is standing next to you and speaking to you. If they are scaring him, I'd get help ASAP. I've had scary thoughts, and I could tell the difference between them and auditory hallucinations. Hallucinations tend to get worse without treatment, but there is good treatment out there for them. Rather than guessing yourself or asking him questions (let the doctor do it), I'd just take him in and not coax him, as in, "Now are you sure you're not just hearing your own thoughts?" Let him be assessed. It could very well be the stimulants. [/QUOTE]
