Do you know the causes and characteristics of auditory hallucination?

Auditory hallucination is one of the common symptoms of mental illness. There are many reasons for auditory hallucination, both external and internal. For example, long-term work, high study pressure or poor sleep quality can lead to endocrine disorders, etc. These reasons may lead to auditory hallucinations. It has the following characteristics: Auditory hallucinations often occur in the early stages of the disease, and auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia are mostly true hallucinations. Therefore, once you find yourself with these characteristics, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.

reason

1. The causes of auditory hallucinations include psychological factors, such as excessive mental stress; diseases in certain parts of the body, such as auditory center disorders or diseases; drug effects, such as smoking or injecting excessive anesthetics, smoking marijuana and ingesting hallucinogenic substances, drug allergies, etc.

2. The physiological mechanism of auditory hallucinations is not fully understood. Modern clinical research believes that auditory hallucinations are the result of incorrect signal processing by the brain's auditory center. The world we are facing is not silent. The hearing of normal people can correctly transmit internal and external sound signals to the auditory center. People with auditory hallucinations distort or exaggerate sound signals or even modify them according to subjective intentions due to obstructions in the auditory center. Therefore, they have auditory abnormality. I believe that auditory hallucinations can also be caused by the brain incorrectly extracting sound information from memory and amplifying it.

Features

1. It often occurs in the early stages of the disease: It can also occur during the development of symptoms of the disease. In the early stages of slowly developing schizophrenia, a small amount of relatively monotonous auditory hallucinations may occur. As the disease progresses, the amount of auditory hallucinations gradually increases and the content of the auditory hallucinations becomes richer. At the beginning, the patient may be skeptical about the voices that come out of nowhere, but as the amount of auditory hallucinations increases, the content becomes richer, and the images become more realistic, he loses his self-awareness ability (called loss of self-awareness in psychiatry) about the auditory hallucinations and becomes unshakable. As for acute onset schizophrenia, a large number of rich auditory hallucinations may suddenly appear, and the patient will be dominated by the auditory hallucinations and exhibit various abnormal thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

2. Auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia are mostly true hallucinations, but false hallucinations may also occur. If the patient can tell you clearly. The sound is heard through his ears. The sound is in the outside world, at a certain distance from him. Patients with pseudo-hallucinations will specifically say that the sounds do not come from the outside world, but exist in their brains or stomachs.

3. The contents of auditory hallucinations vary: the most common is verbal auditory hallucination, in which the patient hears voices out of thin air. Since it is a true auditory hallucination, the patient can tell how many people are speaking, whether it is a male or female voice, and whether the voice is someone familiar or a stranger. The contents vary, including command hallucinations, commentary hallucinations, argumentative hallucinations, etc. The content is often unfavorable to the patient, such as insults, derogatory comments, or saying that the patient has made a big mistake. They would also order patients to commit suicide or turn themselves in.

4. Auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia: often exist together with other symptoms, especially delusions. For example, if the patient hears a voice telling him that someone is trying to persecute him, the patient may then develop delusions of persecution based on the auditory hallucinations. Some patients may first have delusions of persecution and then develop auditory hallucinations based on these delusions. Some patients may only have a single symptom of auditory hallucinations at a certain stage of the disease.

So first of all I suggest that everyone take a good rest.

Also, relax yourself, go out for more walks, relax your mind, get in touch with the outside world more, stay away from the computer, and I think such hallucinations should be less.
