A great article on those who hallucinate…:
"We need to rethink the link between hearing voices and mental health – it’s more subtle than previously thought.” McGrath added, “While people may experience a false perception such as mistakenly hearing their name called out in public, hallucinations and delusions are quite detailed, for example hearing voices that no one else can hear or a belief that somebody else has taken over your mind.”
“In particular, we are interested in learning why some people recover, while others may progress to more serious disorders such as schizophrenia. We need to understand why it’s temporary for some people and permanent for others. We can use these findings to start identifying whether the mechanisms causing these hallucinations are the same or different in both (psychotic and neurotic) situations.”
