Right.This is different from having intrusive thoughts. Intrusive thoughts do not sound like real voices as if someone were standing next to you talking in your ear. Intrusive thoughts are more like an unwanted talking to yourself silently. They can be a symptom of depression with or without OCPD (obsessive-compulsive personality disorder).
After reading these posts, what do you think?
