What are Hallucinations?
Hallucinations are vivid sensory perceptions that occur without an external stimulus. They may involve seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, or feeling things that aren’t present. Hallucinations are commonly associated with conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or substance use, including alcohol or drugs such as LSD and amphetamines. They can be distressing and may disrupt daily life and functioning.
Treatment for hallucinations often includes medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes to manage the underlying cause and improve mental stability.
