Internal Echo Chamber: Schizophrenia Source Monitoring Errors, Self-Speech, and Auditory Hallucinations

Abstract

Research and results: Self-speech perception, inner cognitive processes, and auditory hallucinations interact complexly in schizophrenia. Source monitoring errors, which identify internal from exterior stimuli, are linked to auditory hallucinations. Schizophrenia-related auditory hallucinations depend on the left temporal lobe, which forms self-speech and interprets cognitive processes. Cognitive theories propose that faulty corollary discharge processes cause inadequate inner speech monitoring and misinterpretation of internal cognitions as external stimuli. Audio hallucinations are linked to maladaptive language network dynamics, unstable speech encoding, and poor inner speech representations. Internal thoughts may be misinterpreted as external voices due to impaired predictive signaling, source attribution, and cognitive control. explain neurotransmitter interactions to explain auditory hallucinations.Neuroimaging studies have linked sensory cognitive impairment to auditory hallucinations, which escalate with left temporal lobe and left superior temporal gyrus brain activity. Cognitive remediation therapy, antipsychotic medication, and neurobiological therapies may aid schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations and improve treatment. Aims and objectives:The objective of this study is to offer a distinctive perspective on the psychology of hallucinations.Methods: Based on a psychologist's self-healing from schizophrenia, the study examines hallucinations.Introspection, professional skill, and substantial literature research are used to understand hallucinations and schizophrenia's impacts. Conclusion:Antipsychotics, cognitive therapy, and multimodal treatment can minimize auditory hallucinations, improve cognition, and reduce impairments and hallucinations in schizophrenia patients with early identification and treatment.
