I’ll see if I can find the source, but I remember reading an article that talked about how in some eastern cultures (Japan) hearing voices wasn’t considered a negative/psychotic problem and instead was considered a neutral-positive experience. The same article also mentioned that people in that country diagnosed with schizophrenia typically heard voices saying positive things, compared to western cultures where voices would say/suggest negative things Edit: was Ghana and India not Japan, and study was very small sample size. Still a pretty interesting read: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/07/when-hearing-voices-is-a-good-thing/374863/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/07/when-hear...
