When he was a child, Mr. Joe Holt said he was frightened by the word of despair heard from nowhere. When Mr. Horto showed anger towards the surroundings, he seems to have been told that "I have not said such a thing" or was angry, it seems I felt a gap between my perception and surrounding reaction. Mr. Holt says he was living a life of sorrow that heard from nowhere, but at some point his anger exploded, he said that he lost his job and broke his friendship each time. At one point, Mr. Holt is diagnosed as having schizophrenia, and I know that the word of contempt that had been suffering for many years until then was "illusion".

About Holt's experienceArticle of the New York Times of 2011Many people diagnosed with schizophrenia have the same experience as Mr. Holt, although it is written in more detail. In this way, it seems that whether hearing hallucinations can be heard is a kind of signature for ascertaining whether it is suffering from psychosis.

In this way, the auditory hallucinations heard coming from anywhere suffer many people. It was a general idea for auditory hearing that mockery and violent voices always heard in the head, but it is clear that auditory hearing heard by schizophrenic patients depends on the patient's cultural background It is becoming.

People like schools like Horto often hear malicious voice in American schizophrenic patients, but some people say that schizophrenia patients in other countries do not listen to malicious voice That's right. Furthermore, in some countries, illusions heard by patients with schizophrenia are recognized as "good things".

Being an anthropologist at Stanford UniversityTanya RahmanA research team headed by Mr. Is a British academic journalThe British Journal of PsychiatryAccording to the paper published in "It was discovered that there are different characteristics in auditory hallucinations that can be heard among those suffering from serious psychosis when having different cultural backgrounds."

In the study, we interviewed 60 schizophrenic patients and 20 subjects were collected from San Mateo, California state in the US, Accra in Ghana, Chennai in India. For the subjects, it seems that the auditory hallucinations were asked "How many people are hearing as if they are talking", "how often can they hear" and "what kind of voice".

As a result of summarizing the interview answers, we can find similarity between different cultures. This similarity is that all people listen to both good and bad voices, whether they are Ghana or Americans, why they quietly speak like a whisper It is said that.

But I can find only one big difference. According to Mr. Rahman, "Most Africans and Indians have heard positive voices mainly, while most Americans have heard negative voices. To be more precise, American subjects are violent I reported on my experience and hated experience. " In other words, it turns out that Americans tend to explain that auditory hallucination is violent.

On the other hand, Indians and Africans explain that the hallucinations and auditory hallucinations they see are such that they remind your friends and family. And we are reporting that the voices of auditory hallucinations are enjoyable. A Ghanaian subject said "Most auditory hallucination is good," Indian subjects said, "Because I have a group to talk to, I do not need to go out to talk with someone. I can talk with myself, "he said. I can see that he is dating very closely with audiences.

According to the research team, it turned out that Americans who are strongly independent and individualistic regard the auditory hallucination as invasion into their own mind. On the other hand, Indian and African cultures tend to emphasize relationships between people and people and collectivism. Therefore, it seems that it seems that visual hallucinations tend to be regarded as a new one in the social network that you own, and in fact, some subjects say "I am very much in touch with the auditory hallucination" and I do not realize that I am a mental illness It seems that there were people.
