Which mental illness causes people to talk to themselves?

I aggree about the personality disorder. BUT, take care, it is not always a disorder. Personally, I talk to myself because I want to hear my voice, walking slowly in the room where I study in my house,when I have to take a serious decision about something. When we try to express something, I analize in my mind the whole situation and I realize some things that I wouldn't otherwise. I mean that I wouldn't realize these things just thinking about them. So, I take a better decision.\n\nIt is the same thing that we were doing in the University, when we were studing for the exams. Study at loud voice and then repeat with your own words, helps a lot. \n\nKaterina

if u have or are losing touch with reality,  or are showing signs of talking to someone in the room  but noone is there (this can be a mild start)  if it seems to be worsening ones behaviors,   or one does things he or she might not have done before,,,for example   self mutilation, hurting pets, scatching other  hurting siblings,  and talking to them like they are someone or something else,,,,schizophrenia has many signs that lead to a big blow up of the illness,   but w treatment early on this can be slowed down, and they can even lead descent lives again when meds are adjusted correctly......good luck deary, im sure u will get many more great answers.....dilusional and fantasy world are also part of this illness!

If the problem is so bad, that it is interfering\nwith your ability to have a normal life and you are\nseriously worried,friends mention it, get help.\n\nYou are probably anxious(nervous).  That is the most \ncommon causes of it. The nuerons in the brain can\nfire so quickly, when your nervous, that the words\ncoming out of your mouth is the same thing that happens when we type too fast....TYPOs\n\nIt's basicly the same thing.  However, it's possible you may have add or ahdd.  If you think you might\nhave trouble concentrating or you can't remain still\nfor long periods of time, then consider this.\n\nMake an appointment with a psychiatrist.  Not a psychologist first.\nIf you go to a psychologist first, they will give you a name of a psychiatrist to see because legally\nthey cannot make that diagnosis.\nAfter the psychiatrist has made his diagnosis of what is causing your personal problem, he will tell you where you need to go for help.\n\nLike I said earlier, it's probably tension but if not and it is really upsetting your world, then get help.  My best wishes AND DON'T WORRY!!! You'll be\nfine.

When I face a MINOR problem or annoyance, I talk to myself.\n\nWhen there's a serious problem, I SHUT UP, listen to instrumental music, and hope for an insight or inspiration.

i think it is because as a person that is living with mental health instead of making mental health my life;...........people as a mass norm,know how they want to deal with everyday people.no challenges not bumps,but to talk with some with a mental health issue we are unsure of the way we are reacted to a mentally challenged person.crazy as sounds you talk to more people with mental issue then ya know.good luck finding your answer.you "DID"just interact with a mentally crazy person......p.s.we can be the most fun at a party too.lol

Maybe there are more schizophrenics in big cities than else where. There are too many to keep under control. So they go around wandering the streets talking to their "friends." Sounds like fun. I have lots of "friends" too.

People are afriad of mental illness. If they admit that mental illness is beyond our control, then it can happen to them. Most people do not understand the depth of pain and suffering that goes with mental illness of any kind. They may be able to pull themselves out of a short term funk but have not idea what it is like to live in a dark cloud.\n\nWhen they tell you to snap out of it, they are allowing themselve believe that they could snap out of it if mental illness happened to them. People have tried to blame the victim of all kinds of illnesses. If someone gets cancer, they must have smoked or had an unhealthy lifestyle or bad genes, for example. \n\nBlaming the victim is especially hurtful. We are punished twice-once by the sickness and again by those who blame us for having a problem of any kind.  They want to believe that it is a flaw in character that the sick person has and they don't have. \n\nA lot of doctors actually dismiss patients with "it's all in your head, here is an antidepresssant." This happens many times more to women that it does to men. The word hysterical, has as its root "hyster" referring to women.

Yeah, have heard of this before, believe it or not.\n\nThe word you're looking for is co-dependency.\n\nIt isn't an official mental illness, though, it's more of a bastardized mental illness that the psychiatric community gave up researching and studying because they just couldn't find out what caused it, which explains why there is no knowledge of it in our society, and people who have it like this man are instead called "lazy" or "mama's boys".\n\nMy uncles and other people in my own family have had this illness and it is for real.\n\nLike I said, the roots of it are very complex and it is hard to treat, but treatment for it has to start with psychiatric counselling for a long time, and possibly anti-anxiety medications as well.\n\nFor men like this one, it is almost always a result of not having a father or other man in their lives to teach them to be strong and independent for themselves, so they never learn the skills they need to cope and just rely on someone else to take care of them, almost always their mother.\n\nAll I can say as to what help this man should get is to find a good psychiatrist or psychologist, or to find a support group for people with low-grade or unspecific mental illnesses in the phone book or on the web, and more importantly pray for him, and get his brother or mom to find a priest or pastor for him to talk to and confide in as well.

50% of the normal individuals experience depersonlisation and in psychiatric population it is much more common 80%.In normal indiviuals it happens in the context of psychological distress. I others there is usually a comorbid psychiatric disoders. So treat them first.Antidepressants and psychological treatments might be helpful.Contact a psychiatrist
