What Casues Auditory Hallucinations?
My twin sister keeps talking about voices telling her stuff and making her do stuff, like, they tell her to cut and kill herself and recently she tried to take 8,000mg of paracetamol and 2,000mg of solpadol. I have 2 questions on this 1) would that be an overdose ?? Would it kill her ?? ( were 15 years old ) 2) does this sound like it could be something serious ( the voices and things ).

Hi.
I understand your concern.
Yes it is serious as she had already attempted for suicide.Need to go for emergency psychiatric consultation.
Hearing of voices or auditory hallucination may indicate psychotic illness.
voices that are commanding or giving threat may indicate schizophrenia or related illness.
Intensive indoor and supervision treatment are advisable. So consult psychiatrist and get further assistance.
I hope i have answered your query.
Thank you.
