Vox blogged about “Multi-Threaded Brains.” The behaviors and experiences described in the original article by David Kupelian are far more common than you would believe. People can hide their “hallucinations” from the rest of the world, including immediate family, for decades, giving no clue other than occasionally odd behavior. They can endure years of torture, including apparently real physical assaults, yet still tell no one. Sometimes, when the truth begins to come out, they refuse help. Either the voices have threatened them, they’ve become co-dependent, they feel too ashamed, or they have some other completely irrational excuse that they probably don’t even understand themselves.
