A total of 54 (90%) patients reported negative voice content about their appearance with 30 (50%) patients experienced negative appearance comments on a daily basis. The most common negative comment was \u2018the voices tell me that I am ugly\u2019 (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 48, 80%).

Negative voice content about appearance was associated with body image concerns, paranoia, voice hearing severity, depression, worry, negative self-beliefs and safety-seeking behaviours. Positive appearance voice content was associated with greater body esteem and well-being and lower levels of depression and insomnia.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472419000668_sec_a5\" sec-type=\"conclusion\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Voice content about appearance is very common for patients seen in clinical services.
