I'm trying to help a friend sort out her
symptoms as they relate to her recent
diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. She
has a lot of questions, specifically about
the manner in which she perceives her
auditory hallucinations:
Is it possible for people experiencing
auditory hallucinations to hear them in
stereo? Is it more common for the voices
to be perceived as coming from a specific
direction? Are the hallucinations clearly
audible or a non-directional thought-like
perception?
She's almost unable to describe what she
hears. From what I can gather, it's
almost as if the voices she hears don't
come from any particular direction, but
sometimes she makes it seem as if they're
coming from a specific place. (She will
turn her head upon hearing them)
In your experiences, of course. Thanks in
advance

This can happen, yes, like wondering
around one time losing my mind I heard a
large evil man behind me taunting me, it
sounded like it was behind me, however, it
can also come from within. Yeah, it can
sound as if there is actually someone
there and coming from a certain
direction.
Does that help?

They can be any of the above are common,
although I guess that if it's more of a
non-directional thought it wouldn't be
considered an auditory hallucination (but
some other kind of hallucination instead).
And the stereo thing is really common, or
the tv, or secret messages in books,
movies, etc.
