My pray to God don't help me so I say go away from my life my voices. I can stop them alone.
A person who hears "voices" is a person with a disintegrated mind. Yes, you alone can stop the voices. You must first accept that the voices come from parts of your own subconscious mind and like any thought that may arise it is up to you to either accept the intrusion or reject it.
To become well you must sort through the clutter of your own mind and clean house. Keep the thoughts that are good, and throw away the worthless thoughts that are causing you distress. Take control of your own thoughts and your own conscious mind. You must decide what to think about and what to ignore, what is true and what is false.
No one can do it for you.

That is certainly not true. Schizophrenics can find relief from medications to control their symptoms, so he should go see a psychiatrist. Also, getting to the root of the problem is important. That is not very easy to do when you are a mentally disturbed person, and your advice could actually put someone (or the poster) in danger.

Sure medications can be helpful to 'control symptoms' but all the medication in the world cannot deal with the underlying issues of a thought disorder. If you gave anyone enough drugs they could be turned into a zombie but is that really an improvement for the person?
How could me telling someone that they need to excert a force of will to either reject the thoughts that make them uncomfortable and keep the thoughts that are good put anyone in danger when their current state of mental disarray and uncontrolled imagination and incoherent thinking is a very real danger that they are already in?
I told him the 'voices' are coming from his own mind. Was that putting him in danger?
Would a psychiatrist ever tell him that his beliefs about God, voices, demons etc., are part of the problem?

I think he needs to be advised to seek professional help and internet amateurs shouldn't be trying to diagnose or prescribe treatments.

I can appreciate where you are coming from Chris and I understand your point of view. However I am not someone who thinks that only psychiatrists can be helpful to the mentally ill because only they can legally prescribe medication.
I neither diagnosed or prescribed anything other than suggesting that he needs to sort through the clutter in his head in order to take control over his own mind. Was that wrong? Do you think that he doesn't?
You have diagnosed that he is mentally ill but how much is your conclusion based on his garbled sentences? Did you include in your speculations the fact that he is not speaking in his native tongue?
Are you a psychiatrist?
Aside from all of that what psychiatrist would you refer him to that would deal with the root of his problem of disassociating his own thoughts into 'voices' by telling him that it is directly related to religious indoctrination that teaches a person to believe in superstitious delusions and reject rational thought as if was an internal demonic attack from an external disembodied entity effectively setting the mind against itself until it crashes?
Demonic attack? I don't buy it.

Most psychiatrists will do a combination of therapy and meds. Meds are very good at controlling things like hearing voices and other effects of schizophrenia. They stabilize the mood.
I'm not a psychiatrist, but I am a certified medical assistant and I know enough to know that armchair psychiatrists shouldn't be giving advice to the mentally ill. It could in fact be very dangerous.

Almost everyone posting on this board is mentally ill to one degree or another. And I agree that medication is invaluable to the person who is having an acute episode and freaking out about losing control of their own mind, but if all you have to suggest to an anonymous person in a mostly unknown mental state on a message board is to go see a psychiatrist, you might as well tell them fuck you.
There is always danger associated with revealing the truth. The greatest danger is always for the one who speaks it.

You told the poster that he could control it himself with his own willpower, and anyone with any kind of experience in psychiatry knows that is not the case. Now just knock the shit off.

I told him that he needs to exert a force of will to gain control over his own mind. Whoop di doo.

You should take it.
