To be honest, I am not sure if this is a psychological or a medical condition, and I apologize if this forum is not the place to ask such a question. I am concerned however that seeking treatment for this problem may bring my mental health into question which would be crippling for my career.

I am 26 years old, and for the past seven or eight years, I have experienced auditory hallucinations on and off. They always take the form of many unintelligible voices. In the past, I always passed it off as being caused by stress or sleep deprivation. In the last year or so though, they have been occurring even when I am relatively relaxed and well rested. Sometimes, they are "loud" enough that they can keep me up for hours or even entire nights.

Is there any way I can treat this issue without casting doubt on my mental health?
