What is auditory hallucination and how can we deal with it?

Auditory hallucination is generally one of the typical symptoms of mental patients. It is called a condition of false perception, but not all auditory hallucinations are regarded as mental illness. If it is only a mild auditory hallucination, we can alleviate it through exercise and listening to music. More importantly, people should stay away from mobile phones as much as possible. If people are exposed to mobile phones for a long time, it is most likely to cause auditory hallucinations, so we must prepare countermeasures in our daily lives, such as adjusting by distracting our attention.

Effective countermeasures for auditory hallucinations

1. Humming sounds: The theoretical basis of the humming sound method is that there is a causal relationship between silent activities (slight movements of the laryngeal muscles) and the experience of auditory hallucinations. Gentle humming can reduce auditory hallucinations in some patients. Therefore, it is worth a try.

2. Increase social activities: chat with others, call relatives and friends, etc.

3. Distract your attention: watching TV, listening to music, reading, drawing, counting, singing, etc.

4. Increase activities: walking, playing ball, doing exercise, etc.

5. Self-suggestion: Tell yourself "everything will be fine."

6. Silently talking to oneself.

Bad coping strategies for auditory hallucinations

1. Angry commands such as "go away" or "stop making noise" may have no effect on reducing auditory hallucinations, but may aggravate them.

2. Sleeping is usually an ineffective coping method.

3. Being alone is also a bad coping strategy.

4. Alcohol or substance abuse can aggravate symptoms.

5. Suicide is an extreme and irreversible adverse response.

Chinese medicine combined with psychotherapy

It can achieve very good therapeutic effects. Chinese medicine can regulate emotions, wake up the brain, soothe the liver and eliminate phlegm, regulate qi and blood, adjust the body's internal organs and balance yin and yang. Chinese medicine has few side effects and treats both the symptoms and the root causes. At the same time, combined with psychological treatment to fundamentally treat mental illness, can achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects. The reason for the recurrence of mental illness is that the psychological cause is not treated. Only by removing the psychological cause can a cure be achieved.

In short, we must have good communication skills, express empathy at the right time, empathize and understand the patient's feelings, and support and encourage patients to take positive approaches to deal with auditory hallucinations.
