The cultural aspect of hearing voices
Don‟t worry about voices; we hear voices all the time. say a therapist friend, I hear the voices of Freud, Klein, Adler, plus all the modern views. We are all bombarded by voices...and the voices of commerce, how many a day is it? Three hundred per day. Or, is that a thousand? The megaphone of voices bombarding and beckoning one is never turned off.
But we have to distinguish the 'normal 'blitzkriieg of voices euphemistically referred to as 'discourse' or 'culture'...the postmodern schizophrenia of imagery of advertising and 24/7 media from the serious medical concern of actually 'hearing voices'.
Hearing voices is not necessarily a sign of mental illness it can be related to stress or traumatic events. Of course, if one, or family members have concerns they should seek
medical advice immediately.
