Welcome to the forum, DVBreen! I hesitate to add anything to what Robert has said above, but you might find the following article interesting, in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/1997/01/21/sc...ted=all&src=pm

It is something to reflect upon. People used to say (some still do) that those who hear "voices" are mentally ill, schizo, etc. - but who knows, perhaps some of those voices are real? I have no personal experience of schizophrenia, but the "voices" issue does make me wonder who is "ill" or not.
