[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 678588, member: 19245"] My thoughts and prayers are with you. Schizophrenia also runs in my family...2 sisters and my eldest son. It is good news that he is receiving treatment and tests. He seems like he is willing to see a therapist. That is a HUGE positive piece of the puzzle. Often, people do not get better because they refuse treatment, my son included. They have done a lot of research to help people who hear voices. Cognitive behavior therapy is excellent for this. They are taught strategies to cope with them. They learn how to discern what their voices say as not being the truth and how to ignore them. Medicine can tone them down. My sister, when I was growing up, had 2 voices, one mean and one nice. My son had several voices that would tear him down. Voices feel very real and unfortunately do torment people. You are very fortunate that he is open about it and talks to you. Hang in there. You are doing a good job. Treat yourself with extreme kindness. Find a support group, read, or go to a therapist...as well as, continuing posting. All are very beneficial. Take care. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. You are not alone. [/QUOTE]
