Answers: I have Bipolar 2 disorder, and i have experienced auditory hallucinations before.
Many people with bipolar disorder can experience some symptoms of psychosis... and many of us are prescribed anti-psychotics for the purposes of mood stabilization.
If you are concerned about your illness ask your doctor or therapist questions. Write them down as you think of them, and take the list to your next appointment.
If you feel you have a problem in between appointments, it's perfectly OK to call your doctor with concerns.
Bipolar disorder is a MOOD DISORDER.. while Schizophrenia is actually a BRAIN DISEASE....
I have posted two web pages from the National Institute of Mental Health on both illnesses below.
I hope it helps.
