[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 570884, member: 7083"] I wasn't saying that it isn't a serious symptom. That, and the cutting, etc, are exactly why I said her son needs to see a psychiatrist, not a family doctor. But hearing voices does not mean they will ever become command hallucinations and it does not automatically mean schizophrenia or the like. My daughter has auditory, and rarely visual, hallucinations. She does not have a diagnosis of schizophrenia and her psychiatrist does not think she ever will. He thinks if she can ever get her mood properly regulated and get her monster anxiety under control that the hallucinations will go away. It's terrifying when you have a child who is hearing voices, or like mine who was living in such terror from them that I couldn't even go to bed before she did. If I had someone making comments like "not yet", it would have made it so much worse for me. It was all I could do to hold it together, and I had been a member of this board for years by the time the hallucinations came along and had a child who was born "different" and had many more years experience with difficult child than this mother has with the issues with her son. I certainly don't think we should be adding fears that more than likely will never come to fruition. [/QUOTE]
