Have you been evaluated by a neurologist? Perhaps there is something physically going on with your brain that no one is aware of?
So sorry you are going through this.

I don't even mind the voices. I've always heard them, probably always will (even the druggings did not make them go away), and they're not frightening or dangerous. There is probably a diagnosis for hearing voices that is not sz -- there's a diagnosis for everything, as far as I can tell -- I'm just really not bothered.
I don't even go to medical doctors now, eh. I don't think I've ever seen a neurologist, but I honestly don't care to seek out the cause of the voices/other psychotic symptoms I have. I never have! The first time I was sectioned, I had actually gone into normal hospital with a tropical disease I picked up in Morocco (a non-hallucinatory one). I got transferred to the psych ward against my consent.
