[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 133303, member: 1550"] I want to warn you that kids who hear voices often start to deny it. As one woman I know said--she started hearing voices at a very young age--"First of all, you wonder if everyone hears them. Then you're afraid people will say you're crazy and lock you up." Psychologists can also ask leading questions such as, "Are you sure it's not just YOU talking to yourself?" that can make the child wonder. I think you should skip the psychologist and go to a psychiatrist. There is no bonafide way to know or tell if a child is hearing voices. If they say they are, in my opinion, it's best to treat it like they are. It is unusual for a child to hear her own self telling her to do bad things. That sounds like hallucinations. Untreated, the voices get worse and more damaging. I wish you luck. This is hard to accept, but in my opinion it's best to leap to the top (Psychiatrist with the MD) and treat this scary symptom.
