voices come with a few different disorders for example I have Dissociative Identity Disorder. My type of voices are different than my friends with Bipolor and schitzophrenia. My voices are memories of words and sounds kind of like when you hear a song on the radio or a CD and after you shut off the radio and CD player a few hours later you find in your mind you are replaying that song again. My voices are the same thing only they are from memories that I can't remember like the words "you like that don't you?" keeps going through my head at times. I have no idea what it goes to, it just keeps repeating. sooner or later whatever memory that goes to will surface and I will know what the trigger is and be able to stop it from happening again. I can do this without medication because my disorder is not a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Whereas my friend and neighbor who has schitophrenia she can't watch a normal tv show because she hallucinates - hears voices from the tv telling her they are going to kill her. She can't use a microwave oven because when she turns it on she hears a voice in the hum of the microwave telling her the government people are out to get her and the microwave is going to zap her so they can bust through her door and rape her, kill her, and so on. Her voices come from a chemical imbalance of the brain and when she takes her medication she no longer hallucinates (no longer hears the voices)
