1. Voices: have you never experienced in your mind the memory of someone shouting at you in anger, or with some other emotion? Can you imagine that this might present in the form of actually "hearing" someone?

2. Depression: can you imagine not feeling depressed or discouraged by this disorder?

3. Medications: personally I think they are over-used. Some claim to benefit from them; some do not. Individual cases may be different.

4. Communication: kindness, respect, listening are always good.
