Answers:
Visual and auditory hallucinations can be a symptom of a serious mental illness. I recommend you go to your local mental health clinic or a psychiatrist for an evaluation. There are several factors to consider such as your age, duration of the hallucinations, family history of mental illness and if you have a medical condition. This can not be diagnosed over the internet.go to a mental health specialist or psychiatrist to be sure. If you have a mental illness there are great antipsychotic medications that will manage the hallucinations so that you can live a functional life. Don't put this off..living with the fear of it can be far worse.

You must see a Doctor as sooon as possible. although Im not a pysc dr. It sounds like you have schitzofrenia, get help imediately. some people only have one episode in there life others have many, either way you dont want to harm yourself or anyone else. Are you getting peranoid? feeling that people are fallowing you? are you hearing people talk to you that are on tv? If yes then you probablly have schitzofrenia. see a shrink imediately before it gets worse
It's NOT serious unless it interferes with your ability to function. I hear voices, usually when I'm really tired, but I don't let it bother me. My attitude is, "OH, that's interesting, what's it saying?" Usually, people are bothered by their voices IF these voices say upsetting or critical things. I just say "knock it off!" or "No, not going there (down that track of thinking)." This technique is called Thought Stopping.STOP! Not going there!. Choose a different thought to dwell on; something you have to be grateful for.However, if the voices are really strong & you can't shrug them off, you may need meds. These meds have side-effects though, so it is BETTER to find natural ways that work for YOU.You have some research to do!
Talk to a doctor.It could be chemical imbalance and microwaves.
Some others here suspect schizophrenia.it could be that, or a number of other things. It *may* be a mental illness.you'll want to go to a mental health professional to have that confirmed. The right medication can help control the voices.
It sounds like they are bothersome/annoying.but if the voices start telling you to do things like hurt yourself or other people, you should not wait, get some help ASAP.
