Could hearing voices in your head be a good thing?

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

For years, hearing voices served as a symbol of a fear we all share - losing our minds. But voice hearing is now known to be an experience of almost limitless range, from cruel distress to creativity and meaning. Christopher Harding explores what life is like for voice hearers in the UK today. First broadcast on The Borders of Sanity, 13 June 2016.
