Sometimes, people hear voices in their head because their brain is working extra hard. Imagine your brain is like a radio that can play music even when no one is on the radio. For some people, this 'music' sounds like real voices talking to them or telling them things. This happens more often with kids and teenagers, and it's not always scary, it can be normal too.
Examples
- A child hears a voice telling her to draw a picture even though no one else can hear it.
- A teenager hears two voices arguing in his head when he's alone at night.
- An old man hears his late wife talking to him while he’s cooking breakfast.
