For the title, I think a quote from Descartes should do the trick - "Sum ergo cogito". Wait, that's not right...

For your thing about a voice in your head, it's most likely a severe case of schizophrenia.

Why, Birm, it's called your conscious!

"i think that's called your brain working"

If you need to have voices in your head for your brain to be considered working then I am apparently very abnormal.

"i mean

"my voice appears in my head all the time."

Schizophrenia

"voices of other people appear in my head from time to time"

Chances are you hear perfectly innocent things, such as wind blowing through some leaves, and because you're not paying much attention you mishear it and misinterpret it as voices of people you know. Unless you can decipher meaning, in which case you have schizophrenia.

"unless this is some mental disorder"

It's called schizophrenia.

I believe there's such a thing called a "Verbal Thought Process," unless the voices you hear aren't your own thoughts.

Never heard of it, and I can't seem to find a simple definition of what it is on the internet.

Voice in your head is called your conscious,
It's just yourself talking to yourself through your thoughts
Nothing too be worried about

"Voice in your head is called your conscious,"

At first when I saw the other guy here whose name I forget say that I misread and thought he had said conscience, leading me to think that he just watched Disney classic Pinocchio. Now that I see it a second time I'm inclined to point out that schizophrenia is not a prerequisite to conscious thought.

That's also schizophrenia.

Yes, but I don't see what subconscious pattern recognition has to do with schizophrenia.

When a person has a song stuck in their head, they can "hear" it inside their mind even though it's not playing outside.

Likewise, when a person uses the voice inside their mind, they "hear" it inside their head.
It's a very common thing for people to use the voice inside their head, especially when they're reading or writing something silently.

"When a person has a song stuck in their head, they can "hear" it inside their mind even though it's not playing outside."

Having a song stuck in one's head is an auditory hallucination caused by subconscious pattern recognition. Allow me to explain the process. First, someone listens to either a catchy annoying song by someone who can't sing once or they listen to a good song a few dozen times. By this stage their brain should be fine-tuned to the repeated pattern that you've been subjecting it to for this time. If you were to suddenly take away the source of the music, the brain wouldn't know how to react, and so would imagine the lyrics and instruments to still be there.

That's also why some songs get stuck in your head after hearing a particular trigger word. I'll use the example I'm most familiar with - Whenever anyone says the word "yesterday" to me, the Beatles song gets stuck in my head. The Beatles song Yesterday begins with the word "Yesterday", as does pretty much every verse. As such, if you've listened to it two hundred times in the past three months like I have, hearing the word "yesterday" becomes subconsciously associated with the song of the same name, and it gets stuck in your head, even if it's been out of your head for days.

Having a song stuck inside of one's head is a common auditory hallucination. It has absolutely nothing to do with the thought process at all.

"Likewise, when a person uses the voice inside their mind, they "hear" it inside their head. "

Define "the voice inside their mind". If it's a voice that they hear that nobody else hears it meets the definition of an auditory hallucination. If it's the same voice over and over again and is trying to convince you to do the same thing repeatedly it's schizophrenia, which is what people normally refer to when they say "the voices in my head are telling me to kill the president" or crap like that. Of course, the auditory hallucination could have any number of causes, but schizophrenia just seems like the most likely cause.

"It's a very common thing for people to use the voice inside their head, especially when they're reading or writing something silently. "

Ah, so you're not referring to an individualized voice outside of the control of the person who's hearing the voice but rather some form of text-to-speech? It was only a few paragraphs ago that I explained how songs get stuck in one's head, but now I'll explain how literacy is taught to little children, at least from my understanding of the matter. I'm not an expert in raising children, though, and this is mostly just based off of pop culture and memories that I have of my mother teaching my youngest brother.

A parent shows their child a little card and says "this word spells "cat". Say "cat", please", and the child says "cat". As with the trigger word "yesterday" triggering the Beatles song in me, eventually the little kids begin to detect the pattern in which the letters are supposed to make them vocalize the sounds. As they're initially taught to read aloud, that's what they do until they're about eight, by which stage they learn to read silently. Now, imagine listening to "yesterday" on repeat practically 24/7 for five years in a row. Even when you manage to get it out of your head, whenever you hear the trigger word "yesterday" for the first time in nearly a decade since then, it's been so ingrained into your subconscious since early youth that it immediately gets stuck in your head once again. So yes, often I hear voices as I read or write, but that has nothing to do with thought itself, rather the circumstances of education and the nature of the subconscious.

People tend to use it to voice their thoughts inside their head.

I doubt that all the people here have schizophrenia.

Having a voice in your head [especially since many people here seem to be talking aobut their thoughts, not some unknown entity] doesn't mean you can be diagnosed with it.

I'm actually diagnosed with slight Schizophrenia, I can't argue with you more Mr. Tim.
