I've dealt with depression my whole life. Now I am hearing voices. I wonder if it's stress or a real mental disorder. I know stress can do awful things to a person.

Sara,

Stress can be a factor. However, if you are hearing voices, I would recommend that you seek evaluation and diagnosis by a qualified mental health professional. This way, if its just stress or something more serious, you can get the treatment, help and support you need. Don't ignore this. You don't want it to get worse. Instead, be proactive and get this resolved as soon as possible.

Wishing you all the best,

Dana
