"Schizophrenia is a complex and chronic mental health condition " they said.

The correct statement according to the actual reality ;
The symptoms which classify as the symptoms of a health condition be known by the term “schizophrenia” are seem to the observations of external viewers as if they are a chronic mental symptoms -nothing more
These symptoms are not rooted from real mental illness or/ actual genetic disease or any kind of the diseases whatever the content of the diagnostic material !!

The sz which represented in the things be called " hallucination" is just a new independent psychological health condition be add suddenly to the current biological / psychological health condition of the human being ,it is a whole living psychological malicious health condition of an entity not from the human race (it is the symptom that you call it a hallucination or the phonemic emitter )

" those were very one-sided conversation".Mark Vonnegut said
The general reader who reads this statement will think that,the voices that be heard by the person is one-sided talking -and there is no mutual bilateral conversation in 2 ways between the hallucination personality and the person’s mind . this is wrong description to the phenomenon

A question;
How the hallucination entity(s) manages the bilateral conversation with the person’s mind in a specific tactic to achieve his malicious goals in the human host ?

In normal conversation cases,the mutual and fair bilateral dialogue between 2 interlocutors on a topic is supposed to give freedom for each interlocutor to express about his opinion (if he wishes) in any words uttered by the other interlocutor

It is not fair ,if the basic tactic for one of interlocutors related the bilateral conversation in 2 directions,he always be the one who talking all the time of the conversation,because this malicious behavior makes the other interlocutor just a listener all time ,and this eliminates his right to respond about the opinion of the speaker who does not remain silent about his speaking

This means that,the hallucination speaker has seeks all time to be the speaker (who produces a phonemic thoughts which reprinted in the person’s memory and become a part from the self-knowledge ) while the human host is just a listener /receiver without give him the chance to respond,modification or even the rejection
While the ideal way to deal with the hallucination entity is to make the conversation in 2 direction all time as you can , but you should not make any mistake in any single respond ,because the mistake content will become a part from your self-knowledge immediately !!
