What To Do As My 16 Years Old Is Hearing A Voice In Her Head?

My daughter is 16 years old and has a terrible temper, but can also be very sweet. She has got this fears that she will die or that somebody close to her will die and then she also has voices telling her that she must now say goodbuy to this one or that one because it is now time to go. What will your diagnosis be?

It is difficult to make diagnosis with the description given. Hearing voices as a symptom could be hallucination but it needs to be clarified further. Hallucination can be a part of psychotic illness. At times hallucination could be present in anxiety disorder. Hallucinations are of different kinds. Can you describe a little more on your child's behaviour, mood, problems in daily activities, other associated symptoms???
