The site’s name originated from the ‘black comedy’ of her experiences of manic depression and is certainly not meant to offend or belittle Depression.

Hearing voices network
If you hear voices HVN can help – we are committed to helping people who hear voices. Our reputation is growing as the limitations of a solely medical approach to voices become better known. Psychiatry refers to hearing voices as ‘auditory hallucinations’ but our research shows that there are many explanations for hearing voices. Many people begin to hear voices as a result of extreme stress or trauma.
We offer information, support and understanding to people who hear voices and those who support them.
