The presence of self-talk in schizophrenic patients is most often seen when the patient has hallucinations, where the patient may talk to the voices they hear. Since the auditory hallucination has no objective voice present, it gives the surrounding people the impression that the patient is talking to himself or herself. This condition is first treated with antipsychotic medications. Traditional and newer antipsychotics are effective against hallucinations, and the symptoms of self-talk caused by hallucinations. For example, sulpiride, haloperidol, fenadine, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, aripiprazole, etc. Also for self-talk as well as hallucinations, supportive psychotherapy is available if the patient cooperates. Family members and friends can also accompany and support the patient more. The content of the hallucinations may involve threats or ridicule or verbal abuse of the patient, and the patient will be more angry, nervous or afraid, and this is a time when family members and friends are very much needed, to give support and help.
