[QUOTE="totoro, post: 47518, member: 3155"] Hi I just saw your post and wanted to let you know that my difficult child 1 has had auditory hallucinations for quite awhile now. At first they freaked me out. But upon reading in most BiPolar (BP) books they are not uncommon in BiPolar (BP) kids. But it is still something that needs to be addressed and confirmed by a good psychiatrist. Our new psychiatrist doesn't quite get them... I continually monitor difficult child 1 for how she is doing, she has "bad fairies and good fairies". The bad ones tell her she needs to die and she is fat, ugly, stupid... horrible things like that. They talk to her and come out when her mod tends to be more down or depressed. The nice fairies come and go. She basically has stated that these voices are there all the time, they are some times like a man, girl, boy. They vary... she also hears sounds in her head... she says sometimes there are multiple voices and they are doing things in her head, "tea parties" etc... Sometimes she wants them out, but most of the time she doesn't mind them. After I confirmed with good psychiatrist in Chicago that this was all OK... I basically try to not bring it up unless she wants to talk about it. I tell her it is OK, but that it is something special for us and the Doctors, she doesn't need to tell other kids or her teachers. We try silly things to make the "bad" ones go away and it helps her for awhile... WHen it gets bad I document it and call the doctor's... I think it is serious, and until I can find another good psychiatrist I have to go with my gut, until we can get her stable... But I have read some cases of people that just have these things and live with them... they are OK. Somekids also have them for quite some time before anyone ever realizes it. They either are afraid to talk about it or are just OK with their "friends". But I agree with everyone else that you should rule out any other possibilities just in case!!! Good luck [/QUOTE]
