Eleanor Longden
For those who do not hear voices, it can be hard to understand what it must be like to do so. Eleanor Longden, a talented university student and schizophrenia sufferer explains perfectly what it is like to hear voices. She was starting her first year at university when she began hearing a voice, and from then on her life changed forever. She was thrust into the deepest depths of hell. She was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and tossed aside by the psychiatrists.
Now she is mostly recovered, not through medication but through therapy and self-belief and is raising awareness for those who hear voices.
