Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi, Dana. I haven't written in for awhile but this sounded so familiar...Both of my girls have OCD and the younger one heard things and saw things. She explained to me once that the things she heard and saw were " very loud thoughts. " She knew that they weren't real and once her treatment got underway, the voices and seeing things went away. It's just another symptom and don't worry--it is not schizophrenia. Kelley in NV **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Has anyone else had this experience from their kids? DS (9) met with new psychiatrist yesterday and in the process of the chat, told doc that sometimes he hears voices. He said that he hears only his name being called and nothing else. He knows it's the OCD and he said he ignores it. But I was flabbergasted. The doc said that in kids with OCD, this is not exactly typical but also not unheard of. What do you all think? Do I have another reason to have sleepless nights? Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 My son said that he was hearing a voice once, but after talking it over, he decided it was a voice that spoke in his own voice, ocd thoughts. I think that can help determine if it is ocd or some other type of voice. Ask if the voice is speaking in their own voice or someone else's. He said it was like that little voice inside, but his voice. If it is like a man's voice or something, I think that could be something else. I read that some where, but I'm not sure where.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi Dana, My son frequently hears voices. My daughter used to hear and see things only when she was put on Geodon.(an anti-psychotic, that actually made her psychotic). Just to let you know, that severe stress and anxiety can also cause you to hear things. I know its hard , but try not to worry! He hasn't reported seeing anything? Has he been on any new meds?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I hear my name being called when I am stressed. It usually happens in the morning when I am waking up. It has an ominous feeling to it and I usually go bolt upright with a racing heart. It is very infrequent and I know it is just my imagination or dream/wake state triggering it. nancy grace > > Has anyone else had this experience from their kids?
