What do the voices tell a schizophrenic?

I stumbled across a video before that simulates what it is like. Below is a article with the same video. Seems terrifying.

I don't think there is a general guideline. Just that there are voices... well, you know what I mean.

My uncle is a clinical schizophrenic as well, but he hears voices down water pipes and voices simply in his head tell him that he is the next messiah; he is also utterly convinced his entire marriage had been a scam and that there was no marriage at all (I was there when he got married, mind you) and that his "so-called" wife had slipped him drugs throughout it to keep him thinking he was mostly disabled so that she could cash in on the disability checks...

So I think that the way schizophrenia comes up in those people diagnosed, depends on how they deal with paranoid ideas. It is most likely entirely different from one person to another. Obviously I have no idea myself because I'm not schizophrenic.

I also don't believe there has been much proof that you could develop schizophrenia in later life due to stress, trauma or anger. There have been studies towards schizophrenia and drug abuse and there is proof that cocaine and schizophrenia are connected. Also that cannabis and schizophrenia are connected. But even here, psychiatrists ask the question whether the drug causes the illness, or people with a latent tendency for this illness are attracted by the drug to surface their illness.

Experiments with mice does show that drug abuse (cocaine or cannabis) at a very young age (before 15 in our case) can cause permanent damage and does actually cause mental diseases like for example schizophrenia. Anyone who uses these drugs after the age of 15 is shown to have no effect from the drug. Hence the question; does the drug cause the illness or does the illness cause the drug?

My uncle is a schizophrenic and he always says he thinks his food is leaving him some sort of hidden message, a group of savages are out to get him, etc.

Anyways I wanted to know what do the voices usually tell them. Does it sound like one person or a few people? Can you get schizophrenia later...

There are 3 types of Schizophrenia: Catatonic, Paranoid, and Undifferentiated. Your uncle probably has Paranoid Schizophrenia. People with paranoid schizophrenia have strong feelings of suspiciousness and persecution. Chances are the voices or hallucinations are telling him that something or someone is after him. Also schizophrenia appears in late adolescence or early adulthood and almost never earlier. About 1% of the population is affected any given year and 1/3 gets better and the remaining 2/3s tend to get worse in some way.

I'm not sure if what I have is schizophrenia or not - my diagnosis has been put on hold.

I do hear voices, but they don't tell me to do anything.

It's sort of creepy, though.

Sunday I could have sworn that I heard someone talking in the basement. It was a man's voice, and it was low and sounded...furtive. There was no one else in the house with me, and I was looking desperately for a source (like the TV or radio or something). I didn't find a source, and I have this really intense phobia of someone breaking into the house. I was scared to death.

I wasn't sure if I should find a weapon and go down into the basement just to be sure, or if I should just stay where I was and wait, and another part of me wondered if I was "just hearing voices again".

If it's nothing like that, then I hear people calling my name or beckoning me to come help them fix something or choose something for them.

1. A schizophrenics voices are actually just one person speaking to you in your mind.

2. In the beginning it may be threatening, but as time goes on the hearer may become used to it after taking psychiatric medicine, and going to therapy, and the voice becomes more friendlier.

3. A voice can usually tell you anything, usually they will talk about your surroundings, what your thinking about, or a random topic, whatever they basically feel like saying, you hear them and you have no control in not. It's almost like trying to get away from someone but being attached to them, so you can't get away.

4. You can't get schizophrenia from drugs, alcohol, or any of the things you've listed, it's all genetic, it runs in your family. You basically can inherit the disease from your family if it runs in your family.

There's more than One Baptism of the Holy Spirit ! The Watchman Calling ! causes Voices and Hallucinations...They conveniently call it Schizophrenia, I've suffered 18 years I also speak in Tongues and interpret.

I have 3 different voices, one sounds like me the other a bloke and man..the voices I hear started out as a middle aged woman and man talking to eachother, they almost sounded like a commercial lol trying to sell something, but I could hardly make it out. now they come and go just talking to eachother, they're not exactly mean or harsh they just talk, and I tend not to listen. also I write a lot of rhymes and I find when I take my headphones off I can hear purge rapping over a beat, its pretty cool he spits very well if I wasn't so tripped out by him going id write a lot of it down, ohwell

There was a lady in my neighborhood with that kind of problem, but I'd move out and bought a house at the edge of the city 12 years ago. All I've seen so far was, that her hair is all messed up. I saw her a couple of times walking down the street and all of a sudden she start talking and sit down in the middle of the side walk. She don't seem to care even if there's a lot of people out there.

i would ask my cousin who has schizophrenia but he is very uncomfortable about talking about it =( its a part of his past he doesn't want to remember. i can see why. it made him do bad things.

the voices tell them exactly what they want to hear at the moment. it can scare them to death, but if your mad at someone the voices might of said "get rid of her, do something. your such a wimp for dealing with that" my cousin once slapped me in the face because he was mad at what i told him. his schizophrenia got so bad, that he said he actually saw me morph into a DEMON! and this was before he was treated on. the cops had to come take him away. he made me a bracelet to say he was sorry but i forgave him because even though i dont know what it feels like to have schizophrenia, i do know it is something that can't go away just when you want it to. schizophrenics hear different things. it can be their own voice, another side of them, voices of dead people, whispers, or a crowd where they cant reconize the voice. sometimes the voice becomes a friend of theres. they talk to them & they feel like they're walking next to them.

One of my friends is schizophrenic and he says that he hears voices that seem to be after him. During this one time in a church, he viewed the church goers and priest as demons and he flipped the bird to everyone in the middle of a Mass.

I watched a movie about schizophrenia to study his condition. I forgot the name but I can assure you that his situation is better represented by the Max Payne movie.

As for getting it later in life, the movie I saw said that it could manifest until your mid-20's.
