A perception of having seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled something that wasn't actually there... that is Hallucination..
It's an abnormal perception of the mind. That's what named by Psychiatrists. It can have causes that are not due to underlying disorders. Like of drug intoxication...alcohol etc
There are much different types ....
Auditory hallucinations. ...
Olfactory hallucination. ...
Tactile hallucination. ...
Gustatory hallucination. ...
General somatic hallucination. .and more...
That is the world of psychotic individuals. Though it is a mental disease state, there is a fact that those peoples are never alone. Some have hallucinating voices of commanding nature, of which are threatening them...making him more fearful and anxious and disturbed. Psychosis is a mental condition that causes you to lose touch with reality and Hallucinations falls in the midst of psychosis.
But few others are of pleasure nature ...those voices encourages them to do things....being with them when they are alone....guiding them when they are actually wrong......
There are even women who is happy about having her lost or died son or husband visiting them. They are actually hallucinating. They never want to take medicines and get cured. Because they are happy in their world. Feeling the presence of their lost ones.
"Somewhere I hear his muffled voice calling me mama..and asking for his favourite toy that I kept in the top where he can't reach. I can see him he is talking n asking me to be near him. In his world now only I can see him...and he can only talk to me. "
"There he is alone... Nobody else can see him or hear his voice. That's y he comes and talks to me.
He ask me to read out his favourite story of teddy winters n he sleeps off while I narrate....I don't want to leave him alone there. That's y I give my baby boy company. N medicines will they makes me happier...? I know he is nowhere in this world. But he exist somewhere and only I can see him n hear his voice calling me mama. I will be there to listen him till he goes away from my vision."
Do they need medical attention unless it hampers their functioning level......?? Be Empathetic......
