Default Re: Real World Philospohy

My nephew has in the past taken medications that caused him to hear voices. ADHD and Bipolar. One of the medicines they first tried had this side affect.

His paternal grandmother thought it was the voice of the devil and decided to take matters into her own hands. He no longer see's her but he did change medications for the ADHD and bipolar and it stopped.

From what he has told me the voices made a great deal of sense and it often involved instructions on what to do. He says he argued with the voices and is quite happy to have them gone.

PS: My mother is a councilor to help deal with a variety of issues and I can inform you that most voices people here are quite sensible and take on some quality of the persons personality taken to an extreme. Babbling or nonsensical voices are quite rare.
