Hola,
Tengo una amiga que escucha voces. Durante 15 años ha sido diagnosticada como bipolar y con períodos en los que escucha voces.
Ahora ha empezado terapia con un psiquiatra, que la está ayudando mucho, y apenas toma medicación, pero las voces han vuelto.
Me gustaría saber cómo puedo ayudarla, porque ella afirma que esas voces son reales, normalmente le dan mensajes negativos.
Gracias y saludos.
Teresa
